You can use your notebook for giving presentations by connecting an external
monitor or projector to your monitor (VGA) port. Your notebook supports
simultaneous LCD and external display. Simultaneous display lets you control
the presentation from your notebook and at the same time face your audience.

Plug the projector or monitor cable into the VGA port
on your
notebook or optional port replicator.

turn it on. Windows recognizes the new hardware and searches for its
driver. You may need to install the driver from the disc supplied by the
manufacturer or download the driver from the manufacturer’s Web site.
