It also provides considerations when using the DOS applications. The LCD of your computer uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology or dual-scan super twisted nematic (DSTN) technology. Both the TFT and DSTN displays computer output with SVGA (800-by-600 resolution) video mode and 65,536 colors. Display Output Type To attach an external monitor: Page 42. When you attach an external monitor that supports resolution higher than VGA mode, you can get a maximum of 1024-by-768 video resolution. To display your computer output on an external monitor, you need to set the appropriate display output type (where to display the computer output). You can select one of the following display output types: LCD ( ): The computer output is displayed only on the LCD of the computer.

TFT
) technology
or dual-scan super twisted nematic (
DSTN
) technology.
Both the
TFT and DSTN displays computer output with SVGA (800-by-600
resolution) video mode and 65,536 colors.
Display Output Type
To attach an external monitor:
