VGA
The external monitor port, or VGA port, is an analog display interface that connects an external VGA
display device such as an external VGA monitor or a VGA projector to the computer.
To connect a VGA display device:
1. Connect the device cable to the external monitor port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the video device.
3. Press fn+f4 to alternate the computer screen image between 4 display states:
PC screen only: View the screen image on the computer only.
Duplicate: View the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and external
device.
Extend: View the screen image extended across both the computer and external device.
Second screen only: View the screen image on the external device only.
Each time you press fn+f4, the display state changes.
NOTE: Adjust the screen resolution of the external device, especially if you choose the
“Extend” option. From the Start screen, type c, and then select Control Panel from the list of
applications. Select Appearance and Personalization. Under Display, select Adjust screen
resolution for best results.
DisplayPort
The DisplayPort connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition
television, or to any compatible digital or audio component. The DisplayPort delivers higher
performance than the VGA external monitor port and improves digital connectivity.
NOTE: To transmit video and/or audio signals through the DisplayPort, you need a DisplayPort
cable (purchased separately).
NOTE: One DisplayPort device can be connected to the DisplayPort port on the computer. The
information displayed on the computer screen can be simultaneously displayed on the DisplayPort
device.
