If you prefer to use an external monitor, connect it to the VGA port on
the rear panel.
Note:
The vertical refresh rate of your monitor is very important. If it’s too low and/or you’re using
fluorescent lighting, the screen will appear to flicker. To reduce flickering on an external monitor, use
faster refresh rates (we recommend a refresh rate of 72Hz or more). But first check your monitor’s
documentation to make sure it can support the rates listed by the video driver. The default refresh
rate for VGA monitors (without drivers) is 60Hz.
