User’s Manual

Display Controller and Modes

Video modes

The computer supports video modes defined in the tables below. If your

application offers a selection of mode numbers that do not match the

numbers on the table, select a mode based on mode type, resolution,

character matrix, number of colors and refresh rates. Also, if your software

supports both graphics and text modes, the screen display may appear to

operate faster using a text mode.

If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or video

playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or frame

dropping on your screen. If that occurs, adjust the resolution of display,

lowering it until the screen is displayed properly. You could also disable

Windows Aero™ to help correct this situation.
