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.
Selecting Display Modes
You can switch the display output between the computer screen and an external display

2. Press the Fn+F7 keys several times to select your desired display output, and then press
the Enter key.
Note
If you disconnect a display cable (not supplied) while only an external display is selected as
the display output, it is hard to operate your VAIO computer because the computer screen is

To switch the display output to the computer screen, press the Fn+F7 keys twice, and then
press the Enter key.
The display switch may become unavailable or your VAIO computer may become unstable
during video playback. Exit the video playback app before switching the display output.
