Notes:

Do not change the display output location while a moving picture is being drawn, for example, while playing a movie or a game, or viewing a business presentation. Close the application before changing the display output location, or change the display mode before you open an MPEG file to play.

If you are attaching an external monitor that supports only VGA mode (640x480 resolution), do not view output on both the computer display and the external monitor. Doing so would cause the external monitor screen to be scrambled and the output not to be displayed; in addition, it could cause damage to the screen. Use the external monitor only.

If the external TFT monitor you connect has an analog interface, flickers or ripples may appear on some displays, such as the shutdown screen of Windows. This is caused by the external TFT monitor, and cannot be fixed by adjusting the external TFT monitor or the computer side settings.

Setting the monitor types

To set your monitor type, do as follows:

1.Connect the external monitor to the monitor connector, and then connect the monitor to an electrical outlet.

2.Turn on the external monitor.

3.Right-click on the desktop, and click Screen resolution.

Note: If your computer cannot detect the external monitor, click the Detect button.

4.Set Resolution.

5.Click Advanced Settings.

6.Click the Monitor tab. Check the monitor information window to make sure that the monitor type is correct. If it is, click OK to close the window; otherwise do as follows.

7.If more than two monitor types are displayed, select Generic PnP Monitor or Generic Non-PnP Monitor.

8.Click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

9.Click the Driver tab.

10.Click Update Driver.

11.Click Browse my computer for driver software, and then click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

12.Clear the Show compatible hardware check box.

13.Select Manufacturer and Model for your monitor. If you cannot find your monitor in the list, stop the installation of this driver and use the driver shipped with your monitor.

14.After updating the driver, click Close.

15.Click OK.

Note: To change the color settings, right-click on the desktop, and click Screen resolution. Click Advanced Settings, select the Monitor tab, then set Colors.

Considerations for attaching an external monitor

When installing an operating system, you must install the display driver for your monitor that is supplied with the computer, and the Monitor INF file that is supplied with the external monitor.

If you set a resolution higher than the resolution you are using on the panel, and use a panel that does not support that resolution, take advantage of the virtual screen function, which enables you to display only a part of the high-resolution screen image your computer produces. You can see other parts of the image by moving the screen with the TrackPoint or other pointing device.
