To adjust the display

Changing the brightness
• To decrease the brightness, press Fn+F1.
• To increase the brightness, press Fn+F2.
• To adjust display settings, click Start, All Programs, Hewlett-Packard, Notebook,
HP Display Settings, HP Display Settings. You can also display a settings icon in the
taskbar for quick access.
When you are using battery power, the display dims automatically to conserve power.
You can use the brightness controls to override this adjustment.
To maximize your battery's operating time, set the brightness to the lowest level you can
view comfortably.
Changing display settings
You can customize a number of display settings for your notebook, such as color depth
and screen area.
1. Click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Display.
2. Click the Settings tab, then adjust the settings you want.
3. Click the Appearance tab to customize fonts, icons, menus, and other display elements
used throughout Windows XP.
The notebook has an LCD display, which behaves differently than a typical computer
monitor. If you change the display resolution, the desktop changes size, but the objects on
the desktop do not. You normally won't need to change the resolution except to use an
external monitor.
Using an external monitor
Your notebook includes a connector that enables you to attach an external monitor—see
"To use an external monitor" on page 72.
