Attaching an external monitor Considerations for using the TV-out function There are a few things to consider when you use the TV-out function. The following table shows the display modes that you can choose when you use the television: Resolution 640 x 480 800 x 600 1024 x 768 1280 x 1024 Color depth 256, 64K 256, 64K 256 Display mode for television The whole image is shown on the screen. The image is shown as a virtual screen. (On the LCD the whole image is shown on the screen.) The image is shown as a virtual screen. You cannot use 16M colors on the television. You cannot display the output with the television alone. You can use the television only with the LCD, not with an external monitor (CRT). If you use DOS full screen (VGA mode) on television, the screen will be blank. If you play a video clip (AVI or MPEG file) and move the cursor on the window, the cursor disappears under the image. You cannot use the Fn + F7 (display switching) function when you are in the dual display mode or when you are displaying the image on the television and the LCD simultaneously. To use this function with the TV as the secondary display or the simultaneous display, you need to enable the television settings every time you start your computer. Note the following when the TV is the secondary display or the simultaneous display: Because of the television aspect ratio (screen shape), the edge of the image will be cut off even when you set the smallest resolution. 70 IBM ThinkPad 600X User's Reference
