Graphic Subsystem
Your computer uses a high performance 15-inch or 15.4-inch (16:10)
active matrix TFT panel with high resolution and multi-million colors
for comfortable viewing. The Intel Extreme Graphic 2 video graphics
accelerator, which is Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible, performs
graphic rendering at a lighting-fast speed.
Adjusting the Display Brightness
The notebook uses special key combinations, called hot keys, to
control brightness.
Press Fn+F7 to increase the brightness.
Press Fn+F8 to decrease the brightness.
Note:
To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest
comfortable setting, so that the internal backlight uses less power.
Extending the Life of the TFT Display Device
Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the
backlight in the display.
1.
Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting
(Fn+F8).
2.
When working at your desk, connect your notebook to an
external monitor and disable the internal display Fn+ F4.
3.
Do not disable the suspend time-outs.
4.
If you are using AC power and have no external monitor
attached, change to suspend mode when not in use.
