The 15.6" widescreen display features LED lamps, which brighten faster, use less power and provide better image quality than their CCFL counterparts. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is also the standard for HDTVs. The 1920 x 1080 native resolution is supported by a hybrid graphics system consisting of an nVIDIA Quadro K1000M with 2GB of discrete memory and integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000.
