Displays tab

1Click the Displays tab. This tab shows a monitor and a TV. Some PCs (select models only) show a TV for standard television and an HDTV for high-definition television. The upper-left corner of each display icon is a button and a status indicator. A red corner indicates an inactive display; a green corner indicates an active display.

NOTE: Your TV must be connected to the PC to change the display.

2To view the computer image on your PC monitor and your TV simultaneously, click the upper-left corner of the TV icon so that it is green. Click Apply.

Or

To view the PC image on just the TV, click the TV corner so it is green, and then click the monitor corner so it is red. Click Apply.

3When the PC image appears on the TV screen, click Yes to keep the setting. You have 15 seconds to accept this new setting before it reverts to the previous setting.

4Click the OK button to save changes, and then click OK again to close the Display Properties window.

If Alt+F5 does not work, restart the PC and try again.
