main on the display) or there
are dots not displaying the
correct colors

If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This is
not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.
High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either fail
to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are functioning
properly), no defect is considered to exist.
The screen display may become distorted if the resolution or number of colors is changed,
or if an external display is connected or disconnected while the computer is operating.
Restart the computer.
When an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the
computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power
saving mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.
Change the size of the icons, etc. using “Icon Enlarger” (
“Icon Enlarger”).
To enlarge a part of the screen, use Loupe Utility (
“Loupe Utility”).
Try changing the display by pressing
Fn
+
F3
.
If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display destination in the fol-
lowing menu.
