NOTE: The computer enters the Standby/Sleep or Hibernation mode when the

in Windows Control Panel so the computer does not enter the Standby/Sleep or
Hibernation mode when the LCD is closed.
Configuring the Display Modes
NOTE: When using an external CRT monitor, the resolution depends on the CRT
monitor’s supported resolution.
Your computer has been set to a default resolution and number of colors
before shipment. You can view and change display settings through your
operating system. See your operating system documentation or online
help for specific information.
For displaying in higher resolutions, you can connect an external monitor
that supports higher resolutions. (See “Connecting an External Monitor” in
Chapter 4 for more information.)
