Resolution and Color Depth
The screen is designed to display a video resolution of 800 pixels by
600 pixels. This is called SVGA resolution, and it is common to most
high-end computers. It displays a maximum of information without
making the screen fonts too small to read.
However, when you change to a lower resolution, by default the system
will stretch the display in order to use the full size of the screen. This
causes some distortion to the video image, particularly to the screen
fonts. This distortion at a lower resolution will not show when exporting
the video image to an external monitor. You might be able to disable
the stretching function by using the video software utility described in
the following section.
The color depth refers to the number of colors that the screen can
display simultaneously. Color depth is limited by the properties of the
built-in screen, the resolution of the screen, and the amount of video
memory available.
Your notebook has a very high resolution and 2.5 MB or 6.5 MB
(option) of video memory. This means that you can display over 16
million colors. In Windows’ Display Properties utility, this is called True
