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

event that you find that there are issues getting an image displayed on the 
correct monitor, you should consider using the FN + F5 hot key to change 
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, 
, for further details on using hot 
keys to change the display setting.
When displaying desktop at external analog monitor, desktop is sometimes 
displayed on the center of the monitor with black bars around desktop (with

mode which is supporting at the monitor. Then it will be displayed with 
suitable size with correct aspect ratio.
