Adjusting the quality of the external display
To obtain the best picture quality from your external display
device, you may need to adjust the video settings. See the
documentation supplied with the device for additional
configuration steps.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To use one of the simultaneous modes,
you must set the resolution of the internal display panel to
match the resolution of the external display device. The
external display device must support a resolution of 800 x 600
or higher.
Display limitations
Keep in mind that the quality of the display is limited to the
capabilities of the external video device.
❖ If the external video device, such as an SVGA monitor, is
capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 640 x
480 and your system is set for a higher resolution, only
part of the desktop appears on the screen. You can scroll
to view the “lost” area.
❖ Since most televisions and video projectors overscan by
15 to 20 percent, some of the desktop will be outside the
viewing area. You can scroll to view the edge of the
desktop.
❖ If you use the display hot key (Fn + F5) to change the
display output with the LCD Display Stretch option
enabled and the display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480
or 800 x 600, the image on the internal display panel may
appear stretched.
