Connecting an external monitor

Externalmonitor:
You can connect an external monitor to the notebook's VGA or DVI port. Information
about the resolutions supported by the graphics card of your notebook can be found
in the "Technical Data" chapter in the EasyGuide.
You can use a key combination to switch back and forth between the external monitor and
the notebook?s LCD screen. More information about the device-specific key combinations
can be found in "Key combinations" in the EasyGuide.

Connecting an external monitor to the notebook

► Switch off the notebook and the external monitor.
► Connect the data cable of the external monitor directly to the VGA port
or the DVI port of the notebook.
► First switch on the monitor and then the notebook.
When the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator, the operating system creates
a hardware profile for the "Docked" mode. In this profile, a setting is saved which
indicates the last screen that was used for output. This profile is loaded whenever
the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator of the same type.
