12 The Gateway 2000 Solo Multimedia Notebook
Display
The system features a built-in, backlit, active-matrix, color display. This display is
either a 10.2 inch VGA display or a 10.4 inch SVGA display. Each of these displays
provides sharp, clear color and resolution.
Tilt the unit’s entire cover forward or backward to adjust the viewing angle. A
sliding control on the right of the screen controls brightness. (VGA displays also
have a contrast control located directly below the brightness control.)
Because the display is an active-matrix display, small dots of color may occasionally
appear on the screen. Do not worry: this is normal for active-matrix screens and does
not affect the overall screen image.
NOTE: If your unit displays an unchanging image for an extended period of time,
that image may remain on the screen for a while as a slight shadow. Although this
shadow is temporary and will disappear eventually, a screen saver program should be
used to maintain optimum image quality.
An external monitor may be attached to the unit through the VGA port located on
the back of the unit (See page 6.) or on the docking bar. (See page 24.) If you attach
an additional monitor, use the Monitor Switch key to specify which display is active
(See page 10.) and check the Boot Display function on the Main Setup Menu. (See
pages 25 and 26.) When an external monitor is active, the monitor switch icon lights
in the status display bar. (See page 8.)
