SideShow™ and the

LCD display

Your LCD display device is located at the top of the system.

Powered by Windows Sideshow technology,the LCD display device is
designed to provide quick to access to information available on a computer
running Windows Vista.

SideShow technology uses gadgets, which are add-in programs, to extend
information from the computer onto devices such as the LCD display.
Gadgets allow you to view information from your computer regardless of
whether it is on, off, or sleeping.

Some of the default gadgets available on the LCD allow you to browse web
pictures, view photos stored on your system, play or browse audio and video
files, set reminders and alarms, monitor PC settings, and set a real-time count
down clock.
