Getting Started Using external display devices 55 Connecting an external monitor You must attach the monitor before you turn on the computer. 1 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port. 2 Connect the monitor's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 3 Turn on the external monitor. 4 Turn on the computer. 5 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 display output 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 See "Enabling different refresh rates" on page 56. ❖ Other external video device only
