External displays allow you to share your desktop or extend the desktop
area.
As the port operation of all external monitors have not been confirmed,
some monitors might not function properly.

other external displays via available ports on the computer.

When you turn on the power, the computer automatically recognizes the
monitor and determines whether it is a color or monochrome device.
When displaying desktop on an external RGB monitor, desktop is

desktop (with small size).
At that time, please read the manual of the monitor and set the display
mode which is supporting at the monitor. Then it will be displayed with
suitable size with correct aspect ratio.
