LAN port. To use an external monitor Connecting an external monitor 1. Shut down the computer: click Start, Shut Down, Shut down. 2. Connect the monitor cable from the monitor to the monitor port on the rear of the computer (if undocked) or expansion base (if docked). 3. Connect the monitor to a power source and turn it on. 4. Press the blue sleep button to turn on the computer. Switching the display to the external monitor • Press Fn+F5 (or CTRL+ALT+F5 on an external keyboard) to cycle through the display options: notebook display, external monitor, both. • If you need to use both displays at once, press Fn+F5 repeatedly until the image shows on both displays. However, by default, the image is limited by the internal display to 1024 × 768 pixels, so at a higher resolution you will see only part of the desktop on both displays. This doesn't happen if you use only the external monitor. If you need to increase the refresh rate on the external monitor, you can switch to only the external monitor, or make the internal or external display a "secondary" display: 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Display. 2. Click the Settings tab, then the Advanced button, then the Displays tab. Adjusting monitor resolution and other settings 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Display. 2. On the Settings tab, adjust the Screen area. Other settings are also available. 80 Corporate Evaluator's Guide
