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.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,
or by configuring the display properties settings.
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.
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):
1While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly, pausing between
each press, until the setting you want takes effect.
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
❖TV (or other external video device) only
❖External monitor and TV simultaneously
