External Display

Extended Desktop

When changing the display destination after Windows has started, do not press any
keys or slide the power switch until the display destination has changed completely.
Fn+F3 does not work when [Command Prompt] screen is set to "Full Screen".
When the external display is used alone, set the number of colors, resolution, or
refresh rate to suit the external display. These settings differ when the internal LCD is
used alone or with an external display simultaneously. However, in the case of some
external displays, the screen display may be distorted or the mouse cursor may not be
properly displayed depending on the settings. In this case, try setting the number of
colors, screen area (resolution), and refresh rate to smaller values.
When using simultaneous display with the internal LCD and an external display, some
videos, such as DVD video or MPEG, may not be played back smoothly.
