Westinghouse NB-14w2 user manual Graphic Subsystem, Adjusting the Display Brightness

■Chapter 1 Getting To Know The Basics

Graphic Subsystem

Your computer uses a high performance 14.1-inch active matrix TFT panel with high resolution and multi-million colors for comfortable viewing. The ATI Radeon Xpress 200M integrated video graphics accelerator, which is Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible, performs graphic rendering at a lighting-fast speed.

Adjusting the Display Brightness

The notebook uses special key combinations, called hot keys, to control brightness.

Press Fn+F7 to increase the brightness. Press Fn+F8 to decrease the brightness.

Note: To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting, so that the internal backlight uses less power.

Extending the Life of the TFT Display Device

Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the backlight in the display.

1.Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting (Fn+F8).

2.When working at your desk, connect your notebook to an external monitor and disable the internal display Fn+ F4.

3.Do not disable the suspend time-outs.

4.If you are using AC power and have no external monitor attached, change to suspend mode when not in use.
