Setting Up An External Display - Motion Computing LE1700 User Manual

Setting up an external display

If you want more desktop real estate, or the flexibility of multiple monitors, you can connect
an external display, such as a monitor or projector.
You can extend your display to the external monitor, mirror your display on the external
monitor, or use the external monitor only. Because the tablet pen does not work on the
external display, you should typically use a keyboard and mouse when you have an external
display attached.
To set up an external monitor
1. Connect the monitor cable into the appropriate display port on the Tablet PC or docking
station. You can use the VGA port or the DVI-D port (with optional adapter).
2. Plug in the external monitor and turn it on.
3. If necessary, install software and drivers for the monitor. See the manufacturer's
documentation for more information.
4. Open Motion Dashboard to the Display panel (page 20).
5. For Display Scheme, select one of the following:
