Operating Your Computer 

2-15 

Using the Video Features 

The video subsystem of your computer features: 

15.4 / 14.1-inch TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) color LCD display with 

1280

×

800 WXGA resolution 

Simultaneous display on LCD and external monitor, which is useful 

when you have a presentation as you can control the screen from your 

computer and face the audience at the same time. 

Multi-display capability, which allows you to expand your desktop 

on the screen to another display device so that you have more desktop 

space to work on. 

Power Management. 

NOTES: 

Before using the multi-display and enhanced video capabilities, the video driver 

supplied with your computer must be installed. 

System enters Standby/Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed. If you want to 

use the computer with the LCD closed, set Do Nothing to the “When I close the lid of 

my portable computer” option in the Power Options Properties. Thus the computer 

does not enter Standby or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed. 

Configuring the Display Modes 

NOTE: When using CRT only, the resolution depends on the CRT’s supported 

resolution. 

Your computer has been set to a default resolution and number of colors 

before shipment. You can view and change display settings through your 

operating system. See your operating system documentation or online 

help for specific information. 

For displaying in higher resolutions, you can connect an external CRT 

monitor that supports higher resolutions. (See “Connecting an External 

Monitor” in Chapter 4 for more information.) 

NOTE: If playing AVI files in full screen mode under Windows Media Player, press 

Fn+F5 hot keys to switch the display output from LCD to CRT, then change to full 

screen mode.
