Selecting the Display Mode

This computer uses the Intel® video controller, which enables you to select the desired display when the computer is connected to an external monitor. When you connect an external display, you can switch the display mode between your computer’s LCD display and the external monitor.

See “Connecting an External Display” for more information.

To select the display mode

1Make sure the external display you are connecting to is turned on and the VGA connector is securely in place.

2On your computer, press the key combination Fn+F7 to switch the display mode. The image that was on your computer’s monitor should appear on the external display.

If the display mode does not switch, do the following:

1Click Start, and then point to Settings.

2Point to Control Panel, and select the Display icon. The Display Properties window opens.

3Click the Settings tab, and then Advanced.

4Click the Monitor tab. In the Monitor Type box, use the drop-down arrow to select the external monitor option.

You may not be able to display the computer LCD screen and an external display or projector at the same time, depending on the types of computer displays and projectors you are using.

Turn on the computer after you turn on the peripheral devices.
