You can set any resolution for either the ThinkPad LCD or the external monitor. When you use both at the same time, the resolution of both is the same. If you set a higher resolution for the ThinkPad LCD, you can see only part of the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving the image with the TrackPoint or other pointing device. You can change the display output type to the LCD, external monitor, or both with the Display Device buttons of the ThinkPad Configuration program or with Fn+F7. You can set up the external monitor as follows: 1 Double-click on My Computer, Control Panel, and then Display. The "Display Properties" window appears. 2 Click on the Settings tab. 3 Click on the Advanced... button. 4 Click on the Monitor tab. 5 Click on the Change... button. The "Update Device Driver Wizard" window appears. 6 Follow the instructions on the screen to select Display a List of All the Drivers and Show All Hardware. 7 Select Manufacturers and Models in the next window. 8 Click on OK and close the "Advanced Properties" window. 9 Set Color palette and Desktop area in the "Display Properties" window. 10 Click on OK.
