Using the Video Features

1280x854 WXGA+
z Simultaneous display on LCD and external monitor, which is useful
when you have a presentation as you can control the screen from your
computer and face the audience at the same time.
z S-video support allows the connection of a TV set, and simultaneous
display on TV and external monitor.
z Multi-display capability, which allows you to expand your desktop
on the screen to another display device so that you have more desktop
space to work on.
z Power Management.
NOTES:
z
Before using the multi-display capability, the video driver supplied with your

The computer enters Standby or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed. If you
want to use the computer with the LCD closed, set None to the “When I close the lid
of my portable computer” option in the Power Management Properties. Thus the
computer does not enter Standby or Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed.
Configuring the Display Modes
NOTE: To take advantage of the enhanced video capabilities, the video driver supplied
with your computer must be installed.
Your computer has been set to a default resolution and number of colors
before shipment. You can view and change display settings through your
operating system. See your operating system documentation or online
help for specific information.
For displaying in higher resolutions, you can connect an external CRT
monitor that supports higher resolutions. (See “Connecting an External
Monitor” in Chapter 4 for more information.)
