Display
The large graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and desktop performance graphics. The
computer supports a Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) displaying 32-bit true-color at
800x600 Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) resolution.
Video Performance
PCI local bus video with 64-bit graphics acceleration and 2.5MB high-speed Synchronous Graphics Random
Access Memory (SGRAM) boost video performance. The video also includes 3D capabilities such as Goraud
shading, and Z-buffering, as well as DVD playback support.
Simultaneous Display
The computer’s large display and multimedia capabilities are great for giving presentations. If you prefer, you
can also connect an external monitor when giving presentations. This computer supports simultaneous LCD
and CRT display. Simultaneous display allows you to control the presentation from your computer and at the
same time face your audience. You can also connect other output display devices such as LCD projection
panels for large-audience presentations.
Power Management
The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" feature that automatically decides the
best settings for your display and at the same time conserves power. See “” on page 24 for more information
on power management features.
Dualview
The computer’s video chip takes advantage of Windows 98 multi-display capability, allowing you to extend
your desktop to an external display device, such as an external monitor or projector. With this feature enabled,
you can move program windows to and from the computer LCD and external display device.
Opening and Closing the Display
To open the display, slide the display cover latch to the left and lift up the cover. Then tilt it to a comfortable
viewing position. The computer employs a microswitch that turns off the display (and enters Standby mode) to
conserve power when you close the display cover, and turns it back on when you open the display cover.
NOTE:
If an external monitor is connected, the computer turns off the display (but does not enter standby
mode) when you close the display cover.
To close the display cover, fold it down gently until the display cover latch clicks into place.
WARNING:
To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when you close it. Also, do not place any object on
top of the computer when the display is closed.
