Using the Display Hot key
The quickest way to change the display output settings is to
use the display hot key (
Fn + F5):
1 Press
Fn and F5 simultaneously.
2 While holding down
Fn, press F5 repeatedly until the
setting you want takes effect.
This hot key cycles through the settings in the following
order:
❖ Built-in display panel only
❖ Built-in display panel and external monitor
simultaneously
❖ External monitor only
3 Release the
Fn key.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You can also change these settings using
the Display Properties Box.
Using the Cross-Functional button
The Cross-Functional button, located on the front of the
display (the second left-most button at bottom left), can be
used to select the external display device. Press and hold the
Cross-Functional button for two seconds until the external display
screen displays. For more information, see “Cross Menu Utility”
on page 178.
Adjusting the quality of the external display

device, you may need to adjust the video settings. See the
documentation supplied with the device for additional
configuration steps.
