Using the Video Features

The video subsystem of your computer features:
15.4-inch TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) color LCD display with
1280 800 WXGA resolution
×
Simultaneous display on LCD and external monitor, which is useful
when you have a presentation as you can control the screen from your
computer and face the audience at the same time.
S-video support allows the connection of a TV set, and simultaneous
display on TV and external monitor.
Multi-display capability, which allows you to expand your desktop
on the screen to another display device so that you have more desktop
space to work on.
Power Management.
NOTES:
Before using the multi-display capability, the video driver supplied with your
computer must be installed.
System enters Standby/Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed. If you want to
use the computer with the LCD closed, set Do Nothing to the "When I close the lid of
my portable computer" option in the Power Options Properties. Thus the computer
does not enter Standby or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed.

Configuring the Display Modes

NOTES:
To take advantage of the enhanced video capabilities, the video driver supplied
with your computer must be installed.
When using CRT only, the resolution depends on the CRT's supported resolution.
Your computer has been set to a default resolution and number of colors
before shipment. You can view and change display settings through your
operating system. See your operating system documentation or online
help for specific information.
For displaying in higher resolutions, you can connect an external CRT
monitor that supports higher resolutions. (See "Connecting an External
Monitor" in Chapter 4 for more information.)
NOTE: If playing AVI files in full screen mode under Windows Media Player, press
Fn+F5 hot keys to switch the display output from LCD to CRT, then change to full
screen mode.
