4. Using
Display Panel
Besides modem and LAN models, the Notebook PC also comes in two display sizes. You may choose
from a 12.1” (800x600) or a 13.3” (1024x768) Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) Active Matrix display
panel. You can also connect an external CRT or LCD monitor through the built-in VGA connector on
the rear of the Notebook PC.
TIP: The provided driver and BIOS allows “Stretch” capability. For example, when using applica-
tions that only displays to 640x480, you can stretch this size to cover the entire display.
Display Definitions
• high–16/18 bit or 262,144 colors
• true–24 bit or 16 million colors
• virtual–only 800x600 is seen but when the cursor reaches the edge of the screen, panning will occur
to cover a 1024x768 area.
Windows Driver
Besides the display driver that must be installed for the integrated graphics controller, the display
panel should also be set to “Laptop Display Panel” through “Display Properties.” This is explained
in more detail in the support CD User’s Manual.
NOTE: When the display panel is closed, the display panel will be turned OFF to conserve power.
