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.

NOTE Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached and turned on.

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 (the last two options are available if an external monitor is connected):

❖Built-in display only

❖Built-in display and external monitor (simultaneously)

❖External monitor only

❖Built-in display and TV (or other external video device)

❖TV (or other external video device)

❖External monitor and TV

❖Built-in display and external monitor (extended mode)

❖Built-in display and TV (extended mode)

❖External monitor and TV (extended mode)

❖Swap-Switch primary display between internal display and external monitor when using extended desktop
