Video performance

Your Aspire 1710 series computer features an accelerated graphics port (AGP) video system with Intel 865G embedded VGA engine and 64MB UMA RAM, and nVIDIA NV-34M/NV-36M series (64MB/128MB AGP card) as an option. This provides a robust solution, while enabling high quality video output.

Simultaneous display

Your computer's large display, combined with its multimedia capabilities, makes it ideally suited to delivering presentations.

You can also connect an external monitor or projector, and then choose to use the computer's LCD panel only, the external device only, or the LCD panel and external device simultaneously.

Simultaneous display allows you to manage a presentation on your computer, while your audience watches the monitor or projector screen.
