Considerations for attaching an external monitor
• When installing an operating system, you must install the display driver for your monitor that is supplied
with the computer, and the Monitor INF file that is supplied with the external monitor.
• If you set a resolution higher than the resolution you are using on the panel, and use a panel that does not
support that resolution, take advantage of the virtual screen function, which enables you to display only a
part of the high-resolution screen image your computer produces. You can see other parts of the image
by moving the screen with the TrackPoint or other pointing device.
