Display A display is an output device for visual presentation of computer information. Commonly available types of display are: • Touchscreen • 3D • Wireless 3D Display A 3D display is a video output device that can display a 3-dimensional image. 3D displays work by presenting separate offset 2D images to the left and right eye. These 2D images are then combined and interpreted by the brain as having depth, thus creating 3D effects. NOTE: 3D display may not be supported on all computers. Wireless Display The wireless display feature allows you to share your computer display with a TV without the use of cables. You must connect a wireless display adapter to your TV before setting up wireless display. Minimum requirements for setting up wireless display are: Processor Video Controller WLAN card Operating System Driver Intel Core i3-3xx to i7-66xx Intel HD Graphics Intel Centrino 6100/6200/6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate Latest wireless-card drivers and Intel Wireless Display Connection Manager available at support.dell.com.
