LCDscreen

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picturecanonlybeensuredwiththecorrectresolutionintendedfortherelevantTFTmonitor.A monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.

ThescreenresolutionoftheLCDmonitorofyournotebookisoptimallysetatthefactory.

The standard of production technique today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. Afewisolated constant litor unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).

Example:

A monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1024000 pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO9241-3(classII), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and an additional 5 light or 10 dark subpixels or a corresponding mix may be defective (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels).

Backgroundlighting

TFTmoni tors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can setthe brightnessofyourmonitorindividually.

Rechargeablebattery

When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.

You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy savings functions.
