There are three display options: the
notebooks LCD, an external monitor
(CRT) and a TV. You can select be-
tween them with the
Fn
+
F9
toggle or
the controls embedded in the video
driver interface. The interface also lets
you change the screen resolution and
color output to whatever is most com-
fortable/efficient for you.
As you examine the video driver (see
the side-bars for setup information), youll
notice that some displays have more flex-
ibility than others. This is a matter of hard-
ware, video memory and the driver for
your operating system. The driver inter-
face shows the available options.
