1-12 System Overview
LCD Panel
The LCD panel uses a 15-inch, twisted nematic Thin Film Transistor (TFT)
Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) color screen. The screen has a brightness
of 200 candlepower, a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, and supports
up to 16.8 million colors (True Color).
The LCD panel screen automatically turns on when the system power button is
pressed. If an optional VGA monitor is attached to the system, the monitor can
be turned on for simultaneous viewing on the monitor and the LCD panel.
An increase brightness button and a decrease brightness button on the panel
allows the user to increase or decrease display brightness. The buttons provide
eight levels of brightness.
The default power up brightness level is maximum brightness. Powering off the
system or unplugging the system from the power outlet changes any new
brightness stetting back to the default setting.
The LCD panel is adjustable up or down and side-to-side for a comfortable
viewing position. Two 1-watt speakers are built into the base of the LCD panel.
Diskette Drive
A single diskette drive is supported in the system. The installed 1.44-MB
