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 computer monitor, and use an
external monitor 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 pointing device or another
pointing device.
• If the external monitor you are using is outdated, the resolution and the refresh rate might be limited.
Using the DisplayPort connector
Your computer has a DisplayPort connector, a digital display interface for connection to various external
devices, such as CRT monitors, LCD monitors, projectors, or even high-definition televisions. This compact
connector enables a plug-and-play setup and supports adapters that can plug into VGA or HDMI connectors.
The DisplayPort connector of your computer supports audio as well as video streaming.

Setting up a presentation

To display information and make presentations, you can attach a data projector to your computer through
