External Monitor - Toshiba Portege M100 User Manual

External monitor

An external analog monitor can be connected to the external monitor port
on the computer and Slim Port Replicator. The computer supports VGA
and Super VGA video modes. To connect a monitor, follow the steps
below.
If an external monitor is connected to the computer, do not connect the
Slim Port Replicator. First disconnect the external monitor from the
computer then connect the Slim Port Replicator and use its external
monitor port.
The Standby feature can be used with an external monitor. Simply enable
Standby and the computer will maintain the data as it is displayed on the
external monitor.
1. Connect the monitor to the external monitor port.
2. Turn the monitor's power on.
When you turn on the power, the Windows Bootup screen (Windows
Logo) appears on the display device that is set as the power on
Display in HW Setup (Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup for more
information).
However, the Windows Desktop appears on a display device that you
used last time to shut down your PC, if the display device exists when
you turn on the power.
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 hot keys to change the display setting.
If you set Simultaneous 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.
