port.

outlet.

Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you’ve connected an external display device, you can
choose to use the internal display only, the external device
only, or both simultaneously. The quickest way to change the
display output settings is to use the display hot key (
Fn + F5).
1 While holding down
Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the
setting you want takes effect.
This hot key cycles through the display output settings in
the following order:
❖ Built-in display panel only
❖ Built-in display panel and external monitor
simultaneously
❖ External monitor only
❖ Built-in display panel and external video device
simultaneously
See “Enabling different refresh rates” on page 56.
❖ Other external video device only
