Connecting digital display devices using a Dual-Mode DisplayPort cable (select
products only)
NOTE: To connect a digital display device to your computer, you need a Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP-DP)
cable, purchased separately.
The Dual-Mode DisplayPort connects a digital display device such as a high-performance monitor or
projector. The Dual-Mode DisplayPort delivers higher performance than the VGA external monitor port and
improves digital connectivity.
1. Connect one end of the Dual-Mode DisplayPort cable to the Dual-Mode DisplayPort on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the digital display device.
3. Press f3 to cycle through four display states:
● PC screen only: View the screen image on the computer only.
● Duplicate: View the same screen image simultaneously on both the computer and the external
device.
● Extend: View the screen image extended across both the computer and the external device.
● Second screen only: View the screen image on the external device only.
Each time you press f3, the display state changes.
NOTE: For best results, especially if you choose the "Extend" option, increase the screen resolution of
the external device, as follows. Select the Start button, select the Settings icon , and then select
System. Under Display, select the appropriate resolution, and then select Keep changes.
