Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you have connected an external display device, you can
choose to use the internal display only, the external device only, or
both simultaneously. The quickest way to change the display output
settings is to use the display hot key (Fn + F5):
1Press Fn and F5 simultaneously.
2While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the setting
you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the F5
key to allow time for the display to change.
This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order:
❖Built-in display only
❖Built-in display and external monitor simultaneously
❖External monitor only
❖Built-in display and TV
❖TV only
