Switching the Video Display
You can switch the video output of the notebook from the built-in screen to the
external monitor port, the video out jack, or even a simultaneous display on the
screen and a monitor connected to the external monitor port. You can switch the
display with software (using the Display Device utility) or with hardware, using
the display hot keys. We recommend that you use software when you are
switching the display to new devices. If you regularly use the same device, you
can use the display hot keys after you have established that the video switches to
the device without problems.
