NOTE: If the monitor is an energy saving monitor, you can either
enable the Energy Star compliant options in Windows Display
Properties or run Computer Setup and enable the Energy Saving
Monitor option on the Power menu. If you enable these options and
the external monitor is not an energy saving monitor, the display
may become distorted when screen timeout occurs.
The default initialization (boot) display setting is Auto, which
allows the computer to automatically detect and adjust the
resolution whenever an external monitor is connected or
disconnected. Refer to Chapter 10, "Running Computer Setup," for
information on running Computer Setup to change the boot display
setting to Internal, External, or Both.
The Fn+F4 hotkey switches between the external monitor, the
internal computer display, and simultaneous display (both screens).
However, the Fn+F4 hotkey cannot switch from the external
monitor if the setting for screen resolution or number of colors is
different from that for the internal display. To switch between
displays or to display simultaneously to both screens, set the screen
resolution and number of colors the same for both screens.
NOTE: Models that have CSTN 800 × 600 do not support
simultaneous display.
Before disconnecting an external monitor when the computer is on,
press Fn+F4 to be sure you can switch to the internal display. If
the Fn+F4 hotkey does not work, save your work and turn off the
computer or initiate Hibernation before disconnecting the external
monitor.
CAUTION: To prevent a possible loss of unsaved data, be sure
information displays on the computer screen before you disconnect an
external monitor when the computer is on or in Suspend.
