Extended 16 and 256-Color 800 × 600
Graphics Mode
Your computer display software can drive a multifrequency
display in an extended graphics mode with 800 dots
horizontally by 600 dots vertically in 16 or 256
simultaneous colors. This increased resolution effectively
provides 56 percent more information than standard
VGA
modes with software that supports this mode.
Note: The extended resolution 800 × 600 graphics mode of
your computer requires a multifrequency monitor. The
1024 × 768 graphics mode requires an
IBM 8514 or
compatible interlaced monitor.
The computer’s 800 × 600 graphics mode is not supported
on the
IBM PS/2 8503, 8512, 8513 or 8514 or equivalent
fixed-frequency displays.
You may need to adjust your multifrequency monitor to
display the 800 × 600 graphics mode properly. Use the
vertical and horizontal size and position controls on your
monitor to display the entire 800 × 600 graphics mode
image without distortion.
