Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you 
can also connect an external display device (monitor or 
projector) via the RGB (monitor) port.

Before connecting an external monitor or video projector, 
configure your computer for the type of device you are 
connecting. To do this, refer to the documentation for your 
operating system and devices.

You can easily attach an external monitor or projector 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.

Connect the monitor’s power cord/cable to a live 
electrical outlet.

Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical 
outlet.

Turn on the external monitor.

Set the display mode by pressing 

Fn + F5

, or by 

configuring the Display Properties settings.

Once you have 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

):

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.
