2.2 Display
The large graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and
desktop performance graphics. The notebook supports two different
displays — DualScan STN or active-matrix TFT LCD.
Video Performance
PCI local bus video with 128-bit graphics acceleration boost your video to
desktop-performance level, and allows you to run 30fps full-screen, true-
color video playback via software MPEG.
Simultaneous Display
The notebook’s large display and multimedia capabilities are great for giving
presentations. If you prefer, you can connect an external monitor when
giving presentations as the notebook supports simultaneous display on the
LCD and external CRT. Simultaneous display allows you to control the
presentation from your notebook and at the same time face your audience.
For large-audience presentations, you can connect an LCD projection panel.
Power Management
The heuristic or “self-learning” power management system automatically
decides the best settings for your display while providing maximum
performance and power conservation. See section 3.2 for more information
on power management.
Opening and Closing the Display
To open the display, slide the display lid latch to the right and lift up the
display. Then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position. To close the display,
fold it down gently until the display lid latch clicks into place.
To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when closing the
lid. Do not place any object on top of the notebook when the
display is closed.
