70 Getting Started Using external display devices Using external display devices Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also connect an external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor) port. 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 Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you first need to install new software. 2 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the side of the computer. 3 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 4 Turn on the external device. Your computer will automatically detect the external display device and activate a screen with display options. 5 Select the settings you desire and click Apply. 6 Click OK. NOTE In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5, or by configuring the display properties settings. Connecting to a TV using HDMI™-CEC (Available on certain models) HDMI™-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a standard in the CE Industry which allows devices to work together over an HDMI cable. Toshiba computers with HDMI-CEC include a Toshiba utility (that may need to be installed) dedicated to take advantage of its capabilities which can allow you to: ❖ Use the TV remote control to output the computer screen onto the TV screen. ❖ Use the TV remote control to launch, operate and close applications on your computer. ❖ Turn on the TV when the HDMI output is selected using the Fn+F5 key. ❖ Switch the video output (HDMI or LCD) when executing certain desktop icons.
