Open Control Panel and click Appearance and Personalization. 2. Click Display for further configuration. 3. Click Apply. The change will take effect after you log off. Using an external monitor Note: When you connect an external monitor, a video interface cable with a ferrite core is required. Your computer can support a maximum video resolution of up to 1920x1080 (with an external monitor connected to the mini HDMI connector), provided that the external monitor also supports that resolution. For more information about the external monitor, refer to the manuals provided with the external monitor. You can set any resolution for either the computer display or the external monitor. When you use both at the same time, the resolution of both is the same. If you set a higher resolution for the computer display, you can see only part of the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving the image with the TrackPoint pointing device or another pointing device. You can move the display output to the computer display, the external monitor, or both in the Display Settings window.
