Getting Started 65 Using external display devices 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: 1 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the left side of the computer. 2 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 3 Turn on the external device. The computer auto-detects the external device and displays the current image via the device. 4 Set the display mode 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. The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the display hot key (Fn + F5): 1 Press Fn and F5 simultaneously. 2 While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the setting you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the F5 key to allow time for the display to change. This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order (the last two options are available if an external monitor is connected): ❖ LCD = Internal Display only ❖ LCD + CRT = Internal display and External Monitor simultaneously ❖ CRT = External monitor only ❖ LCD + CRT Multi Monitor = Internal Display and External Monitor with one as the Primary Display and the other as an Extended desktop
