Screen Controls
Brightness
Function keys can increase or decrease the brightness of the monitor.
•
<Fn> + <F6> decreases the LCD panel brightness
•
<Fn> + <F7> increases the LCD panel brightness
Resolution
1. Click My Computer/Control Panel/Display/Settings. Click the Settings tab. The dialog
box indicates the monitor resolution.
2. Use the slide bar to adjust the resolution. Normally, you should use the resolution the
LCD or monitor was designed for.
Note: Using a lower resolution than the screen was designed for will reduce the area of the display. Using
the computer in DOS mode may produce the same effect, because it uses a 640 by 480 resolution by
default. You can stretch these low resolution displays to full screen size by selecting either the Expanded
Display or Display Expansion Mode features in the BIOS utility. However, the stretching may cause
distortion, especially to fonts.
High Resolution with an external monitor
Higher resolution modes may be used, as long as the monitor supports them.
Connecting to an External Monitor
The notebook has a VGA monitor port to connect your computer to an external monitor.
Using the VGA monitor port
1. Locate the 15-pin VGA monitor port on the left side of your notebook and connect the video
signal cable from the external monitor (or the VGA adapter) to the monitor port.
2. Connect the power cable from the external monitor to a power outlet and turn on the monitor.
3. On your notebook, click the right touchpad button on the Windows desktop to open the desktop
menu. Click Properties to open the Display Properties window.
4. In the Display Properties window, click Advanced in the Settings tab. Click the Display Modes
tab.
5. Under Driver mode, you can select the appropriate options to change the display to an external
monitor.
6. Adjustments to screen resolution and color depth can also be made in this dialog box.
Dual Displays
With Windows system, you may use an external monitor simultaneously with your notebook’s LCD. You
may also use the external monitor only and disable the LCD or only use the LCD.
