other external displays via available ports on the computer.
External RGB monitor port
An external analog monitor can be connected to the External RGB monitor
port on the computer. To connect an external analog monitor, do the
following:
1.
There are no fastening screws for an external monitor cable on the
External RGB monitor port. However, external monitor cables which have
connectors with fastening screws can still be used.

mode which is supporting at the monitor. Then it will be displayed with
suitable size with correct aspect ratio.
