Your computer supports a maximum video resolution of up to 2560 x 1600, provided that the external monitor also supports that resolution. For more details, refer to the manuals provided with your monitor.

If you set a higher resolution for the computer display, you can see only part of the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving the image with the TrackPoint pointing device or another pointing device.
You can move the display output to the computer display, the external monitor, or both by configuring settings in the Display Settings window.
