Connecting an external monitor or projector
You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you
first need to install new software.
2Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port
on the side of the computer.
3Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
4Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device and activate a screen with display options.
5Select the settings you desire and click Apply.
6Click OK.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,
or by configuring the display properties settings.
