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.
