CONFIGURATION NOTES:

No special BIOS settings necessary. Display:
Reduce the graphics adapters hardware acceleration by one step (under Display Properties / Advanced / Troubleshooting). The tested display resolution 1600 x 1200 pixel is the native resolution of the LCD panel. Under this resolution, the video inlay windows are comparatively small, as they are not scalable. For larger video inlay display, switch to 1024 x 768 pixels. The overall picture quality of the notebook monitor, however, is considerably poorer then. It is recommended to turn off all power saving functions under Display Properties / Screen Saver / Power / Settings for power scheme when computer is plugged in
