Your projector might have one or more audio-input connectors. To project sound, you will need to attach the combo audio jack on your computer to these connectors by using an audio cable (commercially available).

Using the Extend desktop function

Your computer supports a function named the Extend desktop function. With the Extend desktop function, you can display output on both the computer display and an external monitor. You also can display different desktop images on each monitor.

1.Press Ctrl+Alt+F12. The Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel window opens.

2.Select Advanced Mode and click OK.

3.Click Multiple Display.

4.Select the desired display as the primary display.

Enabling the Extend desktop function

2.Turn on the external monitor.

3.Press Fn+F7, then select Extend .

To change the resolution for each monitor, do the following:

Using the NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature

Some ThinkPad notebook computers support NVIDIA Optimus Graphics.

To achieve the best balance between the computer performance and a long battery life, depending on the graphics quality demand of the running application and the settings of the power plan you use, the NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature automatically switches between High Performance Graphics and Energy Saving Graphics. The dynamic switch allows switching without having to restart your computer, close applications, or intervene manually.

Note: The NVIDIA Optimus Graphics feature is only supported in Windows 7 operating system.
