    The display device is for external monitors only.

    Your LCD doesn't have a driver -- it is in the BIOS. The closest thing to its driver would be the video card driver.

    Thanks. Why would they have it there then?. They should have this in the monitor section. Well, thanks again.

    Well they called their external monitors Displays, and so those drivers are for the displays that they sell.
