Appendix C
Video Modes
This appendix lists the video modes supported by the display 
adapter and identifies the characteristics of each mod
e.
The columns in the tables have the following meanings:
Mode is the mode number in hexadecimal and is generally 
used by programmers to specify video modes in programs.
Ty p e identifies the display adapter that first supported the 
mode and specifies whether the mode is text or graphics.
Resolution is the measure of the screen’s dimensions in terms 
of horizontal and vertical pixels (in graphics modes), or rows 
and columns of characters (in text modes).
Grid is the default number of pels per character. A pel is the 
smallest display element that the computer can control. It 
consists of a single pixel (dot), or a set of contiguous pixels.
LCD Colors is the maximum number of simultaneous colors, 
or shades of gray, that the mode can display on the built-in 
screen.
CRT Colors is the maximum number of simultaneous colors, 
or shades of gray, that the mode can display on an external 
monitor.

Scan Freq hor/vert is the horizontal and vertical scanning 
frequency in Hertz. This is for external monitors only.
Your computer’s video modes
Your computer supports the video modes defined in this 
table. 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.

The following terms may appear in this user’s guide.
Aactive-matrix display — A liquid crystal display (LCD) made 
from an array of liquid crystal cells using active-matrix 
technology. Also known as a “TFT display,” in its simplest form 
there is one thin film transistor (TFT) for each cell. This type of 
display works well with notebook computers because of its 
shallow depth and high-quality color. Active-matrix displays are 
viewable from wider angles than most passive-matrix displays.
adapter — A device that provides a compatible connection 
between two units. For example, the computer’s internal display 
adapter receives information from the software and translates it 
into images on the screen. An adapter can take a number of 
forms, from a microprocessor to a simple connector. An 
intelligent adapter (one that is capable of doing some processing) 
may also be called a controller.
alternating current (AC) — The type of power usually supplied to 
residential and commercial wall outlets. AC reverses its direction 
at regular intervals. Compare direct current (DC).
