Connecting an external display
Connecting an external computer display
For reasons of preference, you may want to use a different computer monitor to the one supplied by Sony.
You can connect a suitable computer display directly to your VAIO desktop.
You may not be able to display the computer's LCD and the external display together, depending on the
type of computer display used.
To connect a computer display to your VAIO desktop, proceed as follows:
1
Plug one end of the VGA monitor cable into the external display you want to use (1), and the other end
into the VGA monitor connector at the back of your VAIO desktop (2).
2
Plug the power cord of the external monitor into an AC outlet (3).
Do not turn the power on, either on the computer or the new monitor, until all connections are in place.
