22 Chapter 2 The Basics

Adjusting Your Display

Once you begin working with your new PowerBook, you may need to adjust your

display so that the screen is easier to see. Use the keys labeled with the ¤ icon to

adjust screen brightness.

You can increase or decrease the size of images on your display by switching from the

standard resolution to a scaled resolution. Your PowerBook has a 12.1-inch TFT XGA

display with a default resolution of 1024 x 768.

You can choose a resolution of 800 x 600 or lower (called “scaled” resolutions) in the

Displays pane of System Preferences. When you switch to a scaled resolution, items on

the screen appear larger, making them easier to see. However, scaled resolutions may

not be as sharp as they are at the display’s default resolution.

To adjust the resolution on your display:

m Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar. Open the Displays pane of

System Preferences.

To control your display settings using the Displays icon in the menu bar, click “Show

displays in menu bar.”
