Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you have 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 Press Fn and F5 simultaneously.
2 While holding down Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the
setting you want takes effect.
This hot key cycles through the settings in the following
order:
❖ Built-in display only
❖ Built-in display and external monitor simultaneously
❖ External monitor only
