To Change The Display Type - HP OmniBook 5500 - Notebook PC User Manual

The OmniBook automatically recognizes and activates the external monitor. The
built-in display normally turns off to conserve power and backlight life—but if you
keep it on, you may notice a slight dimming while the external display is connected.

To change the display type

The default display setting provides optimum performance for the OmniBook
display. However, in certain situations, you may want to select different display
options instead.
1. In Program Manager, double-click the OmniBook Tools icon (in the Main group).
2. Click the Display button.
3. In the Display Resolution box, select the desired resolution. (To restore the
default option, click 800×600.)
4. In the OmniBook Display box, select the desired action for the built-in display.
