Adjusting Your Display

Once you begin working with your new PowerBook, you may need to adjust your display so that the screen is easier to see. Use the keys labeled with the ¤ icon to adjust screen brightness.

¤Brightness controls

You can increase or decrease the size of images on your display by switching from the standard resolution to a scaled resolution. Your PowerBook has a 12.1-inch TFT XGA display with a default resolution of 1024 x 768.

You can choose a resolution of 800 x 600 or lower (called “scaled” resolutions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences. When you switch to a scaled resolution, items on the screen appear larger, making them easier to see. However, scaled resolutions may not be as sharp as they are at the display’s default resolution.

To adjust the resolution on your display:

mChoose Apple (K) > System Preferences from the menu bar. Open the Displays pane of System Preferences.

To control your display settings using the Displays icon in the menu bar, click “Show displays in menu bar.”
