Video modes

The computer supports video modes defined in the table below. If your application offers a selection of mode numbers that do not match the numbers on the table, select a mode based on mode type, resolution, character matrix, number of colors and refresh rates. Also, consider the following points:

If your software supports both graphics and text modes, the screen display may appear to operate faster using a text mode.

The LCD’s highest graphics resolution is 1024 horizontal x 768 vertical lines.

If a resolution greater than the display’s physical capacity is selected, the display driver renders a virtual display.
