, press

repeatedly until the setting
you want takes effect.
This hot key cycles through the settings in the following
order:

❖

❖

❖
Built-in display and TV (or other external video device)
simultaneously
❖

3 Release the
Fn
key.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You can also change these settings
using the Display Properties Box.
