Display
The large graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and
desktop-performance graphics. The computer supports a Thin-Film
Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) displaying up to 16.7 million
colors at 1400x1050 Super eXtended Graphics Array Plus (SXGA+)
resolution (for models with a 15.0-inch display) or 1024x768 eXtended
Graphics Array (XGA) resolution (for models with a 14.1-inch display).
Video performance
Video memory is adjustable via the BIOS Setup Utility. The system sets
aside a portion of main memory for video. For more details on how to
configure this setting, see “System Devices” on page 67.
Simultaneous display
The computer’s large display and multimedia capabilities are great for
giving presentations. If you prefer, you can also connect an external
monitor when giving presentations. This computer supports
simultaneous LCD and CRT display. Simultaneous display allows you to
control the presentation from your computer and at the same time
face your audience. You can also connect other output display devices
such as an LCD projector or a television for large-audience
presentations.
