Display Devices
Besides the built-in LCD, you can also use an external CRT connected to the
VGA port as your display device. You may also connect a TV. The following
are the display options:
1.
The built-in LCD.
2.
A CRT (external monitor) connected to the VGA port.
3.
A TV connected to the S-Video connector.
Attaching a Monitor (CRT)
If you prefer to use a monitor (CRT), connect it to the External Monitor (CRT)
port on the rear panel (see
“Rear View” on page 1 - 19
). You can use the
Fn
+
F7
keys to toggle through the display options.
Vertical Refresh Rate
The vertical refresh rate
of your CRT is impor-
tant. If it is too low and/
or you’re using fluores-
cent lighting, the screen
will appear to flicker. To
reduce flickering on a
CRT, use faster refresh
rates (we recommend a
refresh rate of 72Hz or
more). But first check
your monitor’s docu-
mentation to make sure
it can support the rates
listed by the video driv-
er. The default refresh
rate for VGA monitors
(without drivers) is
60Hz.
