Video Features and Configuration

All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the external monitor.

Resolution and Colour 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.

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

•16-bit colour can support 64 K (65,536) colours.

•32-bit colour can support 16 M (16.8 million) colours.

All these video modes can be displayed on an external monitor. However, if you disconnect an external monitor that was attached to your computer and then start the computer, the LCD may revert to a different resolution than the one you chose for the external monitor.

Adjusting the LCD Display

You may wish to adjust the LCD (Liquid-Crystal Display) when you begin using your computer. A TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) LCD does not require adjustment for contrast because the contrast is set to remain at maximum.

To adjust the LCD:

•Press <Fn+Up Arrow> to increase the display brightness.

•Press <Fn+Down Arrow> to decrease the display brightness.
