Using an external monitor
Note: When you connect an external monitor, a video interface cable with a ferrite core is required.
Your computer can support a maximum video resolution of up to 1920x1200 (with an external monitor
connected to the VGA connector) or up to 2560x1600 (with an external monitor connected to the Mini
DisplayPort connector or Thunderbolt connector), provided that the external monitor also supports that
resolution. For more information about the external monitor, refer to the manuals provided with the external
monitor.
You can set any resolution for either the computer display or the external monitor. When you use both at the
same time, the resolution of both is the same. If you set a higher resolution for the computer display, you
can see only part of the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving the image with the TrackPoint
pointing device or another pointing device.
You can move the display output to the computer display, the external monitor, or both in the Display
Settings window.

1. Connect the external monitor to the VGA connector, Mini DisplayPort connector, or Thunderbolt
connector of your computer.
2. Connect the external monitor to an electrical outlet.
