Display
The graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and desktopperformance graphics. The computer supports a widescreen Thin-Film Transistor
(TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) displaying up to 16.7 million colors at
1280x854 Super eXtended Graphics Array (SXGA) resolution.
Simultaneous display
The computer’s crisp 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 LCD projection panels for large-audience presentations.
Power management
The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" feature that
automatically dims the LCD when the computer is powered by a battery pack to
conserve battery power. See “Power management” on page 45 for more
information on power management features.
Opening and closing the display
To open the display, slide the display cover latch to the left and lift up the cover,
then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position. See “Connecting the computer” on
page vii. The computer employs a microswitch that turns off the display (e.g.,
enters standby mode) to conserve power when you close the display cover, and
turns it back on when you open the display cover.
Note: If an external monitor is connected, the computer turns off the display
(but does not enter standby mode) when you close the display cover.
To close the display cover, fold it down gently until the display cover latch clicks
into place.
Caution: To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when you close it.
Also, do not place any object on top of the computer when the display is
closed.
Indicators
The computer has seven easy-to-read status indicators (LEDs) under the display
screen.

The Power and Standby indicators are visible even when you close the display
cover so you can see the status of the computer while the cover is closed.

(Fn-F12)
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode.
The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic
operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of
numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an
external keypad. See “External keyboard” on page 51.
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when
you press ↑ or ↓ respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some
applications.

Embedded numeric keypad
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is
indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To
simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the
keys.
