Adjusting the quality of the external display

To obtain the best picture quality from your external display
device, you may need to adjust the video settings. See the
documentation supplied with the device for additional
configuration steps.

Display limitations

Keep in mind that the quality of the display will be limited to
the capabilities of the external video device.
❖
If the external video device, such as an SVGA monitor, is
capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 640 x
480 and your system is set for a higher resolution, only
part of the desktop will appear on the screen. You can
view the "lost" area by scrolling to it.
❖
If you use the display hot key (
display output with the LCD Display Stretch option
enabled and the Display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480
or 800 x 600, the image on the internal display panel may
appear stretched.
TECHNICAL NOTE: In order to use the simultaneous mode,
you must set the resolution of the internal display panel to
match the resolution of the external display device. The
external display device must support a resolution of 640 X 480
or higher.
If you have your internal display set to horizontal landscape
and then rotate the internal display to a portrait style, images
will not display properly on an external display or other exter-
nal device (for example, a projector) unless you change the
internal device's setting to primary landscape. This is a techni-
cal restriction.
When the display is rotated, the display orientation on the
external display will also rotate.
