Selecting display modes
Your VAIO computer uses either the Intel 915GM video controller or the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 video controller, depending on your model. You can select which display to be used as the primary monitor when an external display (desktop monitor, etc.) is connected to the computer. If you want to work on your computer's LCD and the external display at the same time, see Using the Multiple Monitors function (page 73) for more information.
See the printed Specifications Sheet for detailed information on the video controller.
