Do not exert pressure on the LCD screen or its edges. The LCD screen may be sensitive to
pressure or added stress, and exerting pressure may damage the screen or cause it to
malfunction.
Using your VAIO computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on
the LCD screen. This does not indicate a malfunction. When the computer returns to normal
temperature, the screen returns to normal.
A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for an
extended period of time. The residual image disappears after a while. You can use a screen
saver to prevent residual images.
Using the Multiple Monitors Function
The Multiple Monitors function allows you to distribute portions of your desktop across separate
displays.
For example, if you have an external display connected to the monitor port, the computer
screen and the external display can function as a single desktop.
1. Right-click on the desktop and select Screen resolution. (See Opening the Desktop to
open the desktop.)
2. Select Extend these displays from the drop-down list next to Multiple Displays and OK.
The setting options vary depending on the number of the connected external displays.
Note
Your external display may not support the Multiple Monitors function.
Certain apps may not be compatible with the Multiple Monitors settings.
Do not change the display settings while using video/image apps or playing DVDs, as it may
cause unsuccessful playback/display or unstable system operations.
Change the display settings after you exit the video/image app.
Hint
You can set the screen resolution for each display used for the Multiple Monitors function.

connected to your VAIO computer.
