Video performance

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 24-bit high-color at 1024x768 Extended Graphic Array (XGA) resolution.

2X AGP video graphic accelerator with 8 MB of video memory boost video performance.

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.

Dual Display

The computer’s unique graphics chip takes advantage of Windows 98’s multi-display capability, allowing you to extend your desktop to an external display device, such as an external monitor projector. With this feature enabled, you can move program windows to/from the computer LCD and the external monitor.

Power management

The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" feature that automatically dims the LCD when the computer is powered by a battery pack to conserve battery power. See “Power Management” on page 20 for more information on power management features.

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.
