Add-On Devices

Connecting External Devices

Using dual display mode (Windows XP)

You can extend your desktop by connecting an external monitor to your computer.

1.Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, and then click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Display.

2.Click the Settings tab.

3.Click the second display, and then select the option to extend the desktop.

You can set different resolutions and numbers of colors for each display. However, using the Extended Desktop requires video memory for each display. For this reason, higher resolutions and higher numbers of colors may cause unexpected behavior on the displays. Try starting with 1024 × 768 resolution on the external display and 64 K colors (16-bit) on both displays. You can then try higher settings to see whether they work for your applications. In addition, certain operations such as playing DVDs and running 3D graphics require extra video memory, so you may have to adjust display settings.

If you’re playing a DVD movie, the movie will show only on the primary display. To change the primary display, go to the Settings tab of Display Properties (see the steps above), right-click the display you want, and select Primary.

Changing display actions

With a display attached, you can use the BIOS Setup utility to change certain display behaviors, such as stretching the image to fill the screen at lower resolutions. See “To run the BIOS Setup utility” on page 148.

For a display connected to a video adapter in a docking system, the docking display is automatically selected when it is detected. To change this behavior, change the Primary Video Adapter setting in BIOS Setup.

To use a TV set as a monitor

You can connect a television set or other video device to your computer to use as a display. The computer’s built-in display remains active when you connect a TV set.

To connect a TV set

1.Connect the TV set to the S-video port using a standard S-video cable, or a composite-video adapter with a standard RCA-type video cable.

2.Run the BIOS Setup utility and select Video Configuration in the Main menu. See “To run the BIOS Setup utility” on page 148.
