Getting Started
Customizing your computer’s settings
The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the
display hot key (
F4):
Press
F4 repeatedly until the setting you want takes effect. Briefly
pause each time you press the
F4 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):
❖ Built-in display only
❖ Built-in display and external monitor simultaneously
❖ External monitor only
❖ Built-in display and external monitor (extended desktop)
❖ Swap-Switch primary display between internal display and
external monitor when using extended desktop

Adjusting the quality of the external display
To obtain the best picture quality from your television (or other
video display device), you may need to adjust the video settings.
See the video device documentation for additional configuration
steps.
