Video Features and Configuration

Your computer includes a TFT LCD or active-matrix display. The capabilities of the
screen plus the video drivers installed on the computer determine the quality of the
image your LCD can display.
The following sections describe the display capabilities of your computer.
Resolution and Colour Depth
The resolution of the LCD is the sharpness of the image it can display. Resolution is
measured by the number of pixels (individual dots) displayed on the entire screen. In
general, the more pixels the LCD can display, the better the image.
The number of colours the LCD can display is measured by how many bits the LCD
uses to represent each pixel:
16-bit colour can support 64 K (65,536) colours.
32-bit colour can support 16 M (16.8 million) colours.
All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you
disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the
computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the
external monitor.
