LCD Screen
Your Texas Instruments TravelMate 3000 WinSX Notebook Computer displays text and
graphics on a triple supertwist, illuminated, liquid crystal display (LCD) with cold
cathode fluorescent tube (CCFT) backlight, giving true black-onwhite contrast. The
TravelMate 3000 WinSX is able to emulate IBM's video graphics array (VGA) by
displaying colors as shades of gray.
You can also connect an external monitor to your TravelMate 3000 WinSX. External
monitor display modes are described in Appendix H of this manual.
Resolution
The LCD screen displays a maximum resolution of 640 dots horizontally by 480 dots
vertically. Resolution depends on which display mode you select on page 2 of the Setup
Program described in Chapter 4. The TravelMate 3000 WinSX enables you to select
display modes for both the LCD and external monitors.
Screen Angle
You can tilt your TravelMate 3000 WinSX combination cover/screen to adjust it to the
best viewing angle. Do not attempt to tilt the screen more than approximately 130
degrees: damage to the hinge can result.
If you close the screen with the power still on, the TravelMate 3000 WinSX may beep for
about 10 seconds (continuously if OS/2TM is executing) and then turn off the display. You
can transport the TravelMate 3000 WinSX with the power on if the Setup Program Cover
Closed Action item is set to Suspend (the default: see Chapter 4 for details).
