also be labelled

key lets you toggle

between the LCD screen and the projector, or to display on both

Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need to use
the Display utility in the Control Panel to make sure that both the
LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. See your
computer’s documentation or online help for details.

seconds for the projector to sync up after making the
selection.)
