Monitor Port
The 15-pin external monitor port allows you to connect an external
computer monitor to your notebook. You should ensure that the
external monitor is capable of supporting an XGA resolution of 1024 x
768. When the monitor is connected to your system, you can elect to
display the notebookâs video output on the built-in screen or on the
external monitor. You can even generate a simultaneous display on the
screen and monitor.
Note:
Some monitors are now shipping with a USB (universal serial
bus) interface. This notebook does not allow you to switch the display
to a monitor connected to a USB port.
To change the video output when an external monitor is connected,
use the hot keys Fn + F4. Each press of the keys cycles the video
output to the monitor port, to both the built-in screen and the monitor
port, and then back to the built-in screen only.
