computer equipped with a VGA/SVGA video output. The P200/P250 can

480 rows x 640 columns x 3 colors, while the P250 liquid crystal display
is a matrix of 1.44 million pixels arranged in 600 rows x 800 columns x 3
colors. Each pixel is a single thin-film-transistor that actively controls the
brightness of the light that passes through the pixel.
To protect the P200/P250 from excessive heat, it is equipped with fans
that are turned on whenever the LCD notebook projector is turned on.
The keypanel and on-screen controls allow you to change the video
