Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also 
connect an external display device to an available video port, as 
follows:

❖

An external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor) port

❖

A TV, VCR, or DVD recorder via the S-video (TV-out) 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 side of the computer.

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

Turn on the external device.

Your computer will automatically detect the external display 
device and activate a screen with display options.

Select the settings you desire and click Apply.

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. 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 options for external monitor and TV are available only if 
an external monitor or TV is connected):

❖

Built-in display only

❖

Built-in display and external monitor simultaneously

❖

External monitor only
