To connect an HDMI-compatible television or VCR/DVD player to 
the computer:

Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not included with your 
computer) to the HDMI Out port on the side of your computer, 
and then connect the other end of the cable to your television. 
Refer to the manual that came with the television for more 
information.

Your computer will automatically detect the external display 
device and activate a screen with display options. Choose the 
settings you desire and click Apply. Then click OK.

Once you have connected an external display device, you can 
choose to use the internal display only, the external device only, or 
both simultaneously. 

Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached 
and turned on.

The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the 
display hot key (

Fn

 + 

F5

):

Press 

Fn

 and 

F5

 simultaneously.

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):

❖

Built-in display only

❖

Built-in display and external monitor simultaneously

❖

External monitor only

❖

Built-in display and TV (or other external video device) 
simultaneously
