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.

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

Press

Fn

and

F5

simultaneously.

2

While holding down

Fn

, press

F5

repeatedly until the setting

you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the

F5

key to allow time for the display to change.

This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order
(the last two options are available if an external monitor is
connected):

Built-in display only

Built-in display and external monitor (simultaneously)

External monitor only

Built-in display and TV (or other external video device)
