Getting Started Using external display devices 65 Using external display devices Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you can easily attach an external monitor to your computer if you need a larger screen. To do this: 1 Turn off the computer. 2 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the rear of the computer. 3 Connect the monitor's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 4 Turn on the external monitor. 5 Turn on the computer. 6 Set the display mode by pressing Fn + F5, or by setting the Display Properties settings. Directing the display output when you turn on the computer Once you've 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 While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the setting you want takes effect. This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order: ❖ Built-in display panel only ❖ Built-in display panel and external monitor simultaneously ❖ External monitor only ❖ Built-in display panel and external video device simultaneously ❖ Other external video device only
