indicate a malfunction. (Touch screen equipped models)
The LCD screen/touch screen is made of reinforced glass to implement high durability, however, treat the
screen with care as it is not 100% unbreakable. In case the screen breaks into small pieces, be careful not
to cut yourself on the pieces of broken glass. (Touch screen equipped models)
Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun. This could damage the LCD screen. Be sure to block direct
sunlight when using your VAIO computer near a window.
Do not exert pressure on the LCD screen or its edges. The LCD screen may be sensitive to pressure or
added stress, and exerting pressure may damage the screen or cause it to malfunction.
Using your VAIO computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the LCD screen.
This does not indicate a malfunction. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns
to normal.
A residual image may appear on the LCD screen if the same image is displayed for an extended period of
time. The residual image disappears after a while. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images.
Using the Multiple Monitors Function
The Multiple Monitors function allows you to distribute portions of your desktop across separate displays.
For example, if you have an external display connected to the monitor port, the computer screen and the
external display can function as a single desktop.
1. Right-click on the desktop and select
Screen resolution. (See
Opening the Desktop to open the
desktop.)
2. Select
Extend these displays from the drop-down list next to Multiple Displays and OK.
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 connected to your
