Display controller

The display controller interprets software commands into hardware

commands that turn particular pels on or off.
A high-resolution external monitor connected to the computer can display

up to 2048 horizontal and 1536 vertical pixels at up to 16M colors.
The display controller also controls the video mode, which uses industry

standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of

colours that can be displayed on screen.
Software written for a given video mode will run on any computer that

supports the mode.
The computer’s display controller supports all SVGA and XGA modes, the

most widely used industry standards.

Display modes which you can set are depending on the external

monitor which you use.

If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or

video playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering

or frame dropping on your screen. If that occurs, adjust the resolution

of display, lowering it until the screen is displayed properly. You could

also disable Windows Aero™ to help correct this situation.
