Getting Started
Using external display devices
Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you connect an external display device, you can choose to use
the internal display only, the external device only, or both
simultaneously.
Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached
and turned on.
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, pausing between
each press, 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
❖ Built-in display and TV (or other external video device)
simultaneously
❖ TV (or other external video device) only
❖ Built-in display and external monitor (extended desktop)
❖ Built-in display and TV (extended desktop)

The dual display modes (internal display and external device) cannot
be used while you are watching a DVD.
2 Release the
Fn key.
