Getting Started

Using external display devices

4 Turn on the external device.

Your computer will automatically detect the external display

device and activate a screen with display options.

5 Select the settings you desire and click Apply.

6 Click OK.

In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,

or by configuring the display properties settings.

Directing the display output when you turn on the computer

Once you have connected an external display device, you can

choose to use the internal display only, the external device only, or

both simultaneously.

Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached

and turned on.

The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the

display hot key (

Fn + F5):

1 Press

Fn and F5 simultaneously.

2 While holding down

Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the setting

you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the

key to allow time for the display to change.

This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order

(the last two options are available if an external monitor is

connected):

❖ LCD—Internal display only

❖ LCD + CRT—Internal display and external monitor

simultaneously

❖ CRT—External monitor only

❖ LCD + CRT Multi Monitor—Internal display and external

monitor, with one acting as the primary display and the

other as an extended desktop
