External display devices

External monitor

You can connect an external monitor to the external display port. For the location of
these ports, see "Rear view" on page 7. Read the monitor manual for additional
instructions.
Note: If an external monitor is not connected, closing the display cover puts the
computer into Standby mode.

External display with s-video input

You can connect an external display device such as a television or projector with s-
video input to the video-out port on the rear of the computer. For the location of this
connector, see "Rear view" on page 7. Read the manual for your TV or projector for
additional operating instructions.

Using simultaneous display

Your computer takes advantage of Windows multi-display capability, allowing you to
use your computer for presentation purposes. So whatever is displayed in your
computer will likewise be displayed on the other external display. Press Fn-F5 to toggle
the display output location.
To use simultaneous display, you can choose to connect the display device to the
computer through the external display port or video-out port, depending on what
your display device supports.
