The notebook uses an integrated AGP VGA graphics controller and shares its video memory

LCD models can support 16M colors or maximum 32-bit true color at 1024x768 resolution.

has an advanced power management feature that switches off the LCD when there is no
system activity for a predetermined amount of time.
