Using External Monitors - Texas Instruments TravelMate 4000M User Manual

Using External Monitors

You can also connect the computer to external monitors, many of which can
display resolutions higher than 640 x 480 x 256.
When the external monitor is configured for 640 x 480 VGA however, the
computer can display on the LCD at the same time as the external monitor.
This feature is called SimulSCAN™ and is enabled using the VGA utility. the
SIM.BAT batch file, or the SIMUL Windows utility described in the User's
Reference Manual.
Hint
When the computer is connected to an external monitor, you can use the
computer with the cover closed. Use Setup to change Closed Cover Action to
Backlight Off and Cover Alarm to Off. For further information, see the User's
Reference Manual
While SIMULSCAN is in effect, the LCD screen may display characters less
brightly than when the computer is displaying only on the LCD screen.
