Extended Desktop

When the external display is used alone, set the number of colors, resolution, or
refresh rate to suit the external display. These settings are separate from when the
internal LCD is used alone or with an external display simultaneously.
When the computer is set to display on both the internal LCD and the external display,
DVD-Video, MPEG files and other video files may not be played back smoothly.
When connecting a monitor that does not conform to the Plug & Play standards:
Either select the correct external display driver using in the following menu. Or use
the driver disk that was supplied with your monitor.
[start] - [Control Panel] - [Appearance and Themes] - [Display] - [Settings] -
[Advanced] - [Monitor] - [Properties] - [Driver] - [Update Driver]
If a picture is not displayed properly, lower the level of [Hardware acceleration] in the
following menu.
[start] - [Control Panel] - [Appearance and Themes] - [Display] - [Settings] -
[Advanced] - [Troubleshoot]
Also, carefully read the operating instructions of the external display.

Simultaneous display cannot be used until Windows startup is complete (during Setup
Utility, Windows logon screen, etc.). When Fn+F3 is pressed, the screen is displayed
on the external display or internal LCD.
With Extended Desktop, you can use both the internal LCD and the external display as an
