Texas Instruments 3000 - Manual (Page 23)

LCD Screen
Your Texas Instruments TravelMate 3000 Notebook Computer displays text and graphics
on a triple supertwist, illuminated, liquid crystal display (LCD) with cold cathode
fluorescent tube (CCFT) backlight, giving true black-on-white contrast. The TravelMate
3000 is able to emulate IBM's video graphics array (VGA) by displaying colors as shades
of gray.
You can also connect an external monitor to your TravelMate 3000. External monitor
display modes are described in Appendix H of this manual.
Resolution
The LCD screen displays a maximum resolution of 640 dots horizontally by 480 dots
vertically. Resolution depends on which display mode you select on page 2 of the Setup
Program described in Chapter 4. The TravelMate 3000 enables you to select display
modes for both the LCD and external monitors.
Screen Angle
You can tilt your TravelMate 3000 combination cover/screen to adjust it to the best
viewing angle. Do not attempt to tilt the screen more than approximately 130 degrees:
damage to the hinge can result.
Caution: To save battery power, the TravelMate 3000 beeps for about 10 seconds
(continuously if OS/2 TM is executing) if you happen to close the screen with the power
still on. Never transport the TravelMate 3000 with the power on.
The TravelMate 3000 is designed so that it can be used with the cover/screen closed, for
example, to connect an external monitor to your computer to run a demonstration
program. For this purpose, you can disable the coverclosed alarm by changing a setting in
the Setup Program (see Chapter 4).
