When you turn on the power, the computer will automatically recognize the

the display settings. If you then disconnect the external monitor before you 
turn the computer's power off, be sure to press FN + F5 hot key again to 
switch to the internal display.
Please refer to Chapter 5,

keys to change the display setting.

displayed on the center of the monitor with black bars around desktop (with 
small size).
At that time, please read the manual of the monitor and set the display 
mode which is supporting at the monitor. Then it will be displayed with 
suitable size with correct aspect ratio.
