3400 Notes:
1) The computer does not provide a display with 2 bits per pixel.

2) An SVGA monitor's display resolution will be 640 by 480 pixels. The user can switch to a higher resolution by using the Monitors control panel or the control strip. The resolution set by the user will be used the next time the computer is started up.

3) If the external monitor can display 800 by 600 pixels at 60 Hz, the PowerBook 3400 computer can display simultaneously on both the external monitor and the flat panel display. This mode of display, called Simulscan, provides the same information on both displays.
