To connect an external monitor
You can connect a VGA, SVGA, or XGA monitor to your OmniBook. When you
connect the external display, the OmniBook automatically recognizes and activates
it. The built-in display turns off to conserve power.
1. Make sure the external monitor supports VGA, super VGA, or XGA format.
2. Plug the cable from the external display into the XGA-out connector at the back
of the OmniBook.
To adjust the display type
The default display setting provides optimum performance for the OmniBook’s
internal display. To change the display options for the external monitor
in Windows 95—select Start, HP User Tools, Setup, Display, Settings.
in Windows for Workgroups—double-click the OmniBook Tools, Display.
If the external display has higher resolution than the OmniBook display, you’ll have
to turn off the OmniBook display to see the higher resolution.
