Video Features and Configuration

Your computer includes a TFT LCD or active-matrix display. The capabilities of the screen plus the video drivers installed on the computer determine the quality of the image your LCD can display.

The following sections describe the display capabilities of your computer.

Resolution and Color Depth

The resolution of the LCD is the sharpness of the image it can display. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels (individual dots) displayed on the entire screen. In general, the more pixels the LCD can display, the better the image.

Your LCD screen is XGA(SVGA), with a maximum display of 1024x768(800x600), about 800,000(480,000) pixels.

The number of colors the LCD can display is measured by how many bits the LCD uses to represent each pixel:

•8-bit color can support 256 different colors.

•16-bit color can support 64 K (65,536) colors.

•24-bit color can support 16 M (16.8 million) colors.

•32-bit color can support 16 M (16.8 million) colors.

24-bit color uses the RGB color model.

32-bit color uses the CMYK color model which gives better printed color matching.

Table 9 lists the basic video mode capabilities and maximum colors supported by your computer.
