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 32-bit true-color at 800x600 Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) resolution.

Video performance

PCI local bus video with 64-bit graphics acceleration and 2.5MB high-speed Synchonous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) boost video performance. The video also includes 3D capabilities such as Goraud shading, and Z-buffering, as well as DVD playback support.

You can also connect other output display devices such as LCD projection panels for large-audience presentations.

The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" feature that automatically decides the best settings for your display and at the same time conserves power. See “Power management” on page 41 for more information on power management features.
