Picture size (pixels) | Frame rate |
1920 by 1200 | 85 Hz |
1920 by 1440 | 85 Hz |
2048 by 1536 | 75 Hz |
Note: Table 3-13(page 45) lists the most common resolutions; additional resolutions are possible.
When the flat-panel display and an external video monitor are operating at the same time, the system allocates enough video memory for each to support the full 24-bit pixel depth at resolutions up to 2048 by 1536 pixels.
Digital Display Resolutions
Table 3-14(page 46) shows the resolutions supported on flat-panel (digital) displays. The 64 MB of video RAM on the accelerated graphics card supports pixel depths up to 24 bits per pixel at all resolutions.
