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:

Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) 
port on the back of the computer.
2
Connect the monitor’s power cord/cable to a live 
electrical outlet.
3
Turn on the external monitor.
4
Set the display mode by pressing 
Fn + F5
, or by setting the 
Display Properties settings. For more information, see

Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you have connected an external display device, you can 
choose to use the internal display only, the external device 
only, or both simultaneously.

use the display hot key (

While holding down 
Fn
