Information on LCD monitor
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. The
specification of the monitor resolution indicates how many pixels can be displayed. For example,
"XGA" stands for 1024 x 768 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours
red, green and blue. As a result, an XGA monitor consists of 1024 x 768 x 3 = 2,359,296 subpixels.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free monitor. A
few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. To ensure the highest possible quality,
Fujitsu Siemens Computers uses only monitors that at least comply with the standard
DIN ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can
decrease during the period of use of the notebook. The brightness of your monitor can be set
individually with the brightness control keys of the keyboard.

Synchronising the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor
Your notebook supports the simultaneous display on the LCD screen and an external monitor. If the
picture does not appear correctly on the LCD monitor, press the key combination Fn + F10
several times, or switch the external monitor off and then on again. This achieves good picture
synchronisation.
