modes. To connect a monitor, follow the steps below.
1. Connect the monitor to the external monitor port.
2. Turn the monitor’s power on.
When you turn on the power, the computer automatically recognizes the
monitor and determines whether it is color or monochrome.
You can use the HW Setup to select between
Auto-Selected and
LCD+Analog RGB . Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords .
If you have selected LCD+Analog RGB under the Display options of the
HW Setup, both the external monitor and the internal LCD will be active
when you turn on the computer. If
Auto-Selected is selected, only the
external monitor will be active.
To change the display settings, press Fn + F5. If you disconnect the
monitor before you turn the computer off, be sure to press Fn + F5 to switch
to the internal display. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard , for details on
using hotkeys to change the display setting.
The Resume feature can be used with an external monitor. Simply enable
Resume and the computer will maintain the data as it is displayed on the
external monitor.
If you set LCD+Analog RGB for the computer’s display, you must set the
computer’s display resolution to the same as that of the external monitor or
other device, such as a projector.
