Connecting a computer monitor Your computer can display images to the computer screen (LCD), to an external computer monitor, or to both the LCD and external monitor while your computer is on. If you purchased a port replicator, you can connect your computer to a flat-panel display. See Connecting a Flat-Panel Display for more information. To connect a computer monitor 1. Make sure the computer monitor is plugged into an AC outlet. 2. Plug the display cable into the Monitor (VGA) port on the computer. 3. If it is not already on, turn on the computer monitor. 4. Press the Fn+F7 keys to toggle the display between your computer, the monitor, or both the computer and monitor. See Selecting a display for more information.
