Cannot use external monitor as primary monitor with Portege M400

I'm unable to use the extended feature deasktop with my m400. I installed the latest video drivers. When I go to the driver intel graphics media accelerator under display properties and choose extended Office I can't use my external monitor as the primary monitor.

The same thing on my satellite.
I m not able to activate the device primary option on the external monitor.
Of course, I m able to use the extended desktop and other options of the external monitor option but the parameters of the primary device for external monitor are gray.

So I think that it of not possible to do something like that. As mentioned above, it could be a technical limitation.

    Have you tried to use the option of FN + F5 to switch to the external display?
    If this does not help I recommend to check the settings in the properties of the graphics card-> advanced settings.

  • Equium A100-147: can I use external monitor with 1920 x 1200 output

    Hello

    I have an equium A100-147, anyone know if its possible to use my external lcd as office extended to its native resolution of 1920 x 1200, I want to use it for photo editing.

    None of these options to external display currently on the graphics card drivers provide a decent game with the external monitor.

    How can I make it fit on the screen without stretch or compress images with a decent resolution?

    Hi Mae

    As you probably know the resolution you want to use depends on the installed graphics driver.
    If the graph does not contain the 1920 x 1200 resolution you will not be able to use it.

    But maybe after a small modification of the graphics driver you will be able to choose such an external resolution.

  • can I use external monitor with my laptop, but the laptop screen is broken can it work

    my screen is broken I can see pieces of the screen, but not enough to change things so can system work I connect always external monitor at the moment until the repair is possible thanks steve

    Hello Stephen,

    Assuming that you have the right cable, Yes, you can. In all likelihood, you will need a cable to VGA 15 pins to connect your monitor to your laptop. With a bit of luck, your laptop should recognize your external monitor and shunt video to it.

    If it's not, or you need to change whatever it is, go to control panel, Manager of devices and open this applet. You may need to check both places. The first is graphics cards - your video card, which is part of the integrated graphics card likely your motherboard. The second is monitors, who will be where your external monitor is displayed. Your duty to make sure what your video (graphics card) points to the external monitor (monitors).

    If you have any questions, please post them here. Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra S4: cannot switch automatically to an external monitor with APR 3 +.

    Hello

    I used a Tecra S4 (with Windows XP Prof.) with monitor 3 + and with an external 19 "Advanced Port Replicator. If I connect my laptop with the Port Replicator, it will automatically switch to the external display. I have to use the function "FN" to move."

    I signed up the external monitor with "use this device as the primary monitor.
    I don't have this problem with my other laptop Toshiba Tecra A3.

  • How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

    Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

  • laptop connected to an external monitor with vga cable issues?

    1The votefavorite

    I use a Sony Vaio e series laptop running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, which I always connect to an external monitor with a VGA cable.

    I put graphics options to display only on the external monitor and I would like to close the lid of the laptop. In the power settings I put it do nothing when the lid closes.

    When it is connected to the external screen I am able to look at the screen very well if the lid of the laptop is open. But whenever I close the lid, the display on the external monitor is turned off.

    I have tried everything I can think of as the use of a keyboard to toggle the display, change the plan to plug the monitor off before and after and even more, to much to list etc.

    I actually did it on my HD TV using a Hdmi cable that allows me to close the lid. But I want to use it only on my monitor that is sadly only VGA.

    I know I'm not alone here, I found many forums on the same issue, but nobody seems to have an answer. It is always with the help of a VGA cable when I find others with the same problem.

    Does anyone know where a response?

    It seems either VGA may be quite old now since the introduction of HDMI, that Microsoft has not bothered to look on this or get out an update to resolve this issue. Sorry it's just very frustrating because cannot find an answer, and I don't like the laptop overheating or wasting money on energy.

    (1) right click on your power Option icon on the taskbar

    (2) will take you to Options below

    Control Panel:

    Choose what closing the lid"this choice is the 3rd in your list of choices

    The next screen will allow you to configure your choice:

    When I close the lid:

    On battery: do nothing and

    Plugged in: Do nothing

    This will prevent your system/video to go to sleep or stopping

    Hope this helps

  • Qosmio X 500 - 13R: picture on external monitor with resolution 2560 x 1440 is blurred

    Hi all

    I have a computer laptop X 500 - 13R Toshiba Qosmio, although 2 years, still a great piece of hardware.

    I just bought a new monitor 27 "U2713HM which supports a resolution of 2560 x 1440.

    Computer video card notebook (GTX 460 m) supports a resolution higher than through a digital connection, so I used a HDMI cable to connect.

    Via Control Panel Nvidia, I could create a custom resolution, but the image is not clear / is blurred.
    It is readable, but it's just not everything.

    Tried with HDMI 1.4, without success.
    I volunteered to connect through Dual Link DVI cable, but the phone doesn't have a DVI connector, and I doubt the adapter will help.

    Anyone has a suggestion how to fix this problem?

    Thank you.

    I would like to share my experience using an external monitor with a HDMI cable.
    My monitor supports both HDMI and DVI port.
    First of all, I plugged my laptop on the external monitor using a HDMI cable to HDMI.
    But the fonts and the picture was not clear. I used the resolution 1920 x 1080

    Then I went to the DVI port. I plugged the laptop s HDMI port to monitor s port DVI (HDMI/DVI cable) and that solved my problem.

    I'm not quite sure the relevance of m this could be for you, but it worth the try

  • My Aspire V7 582PG cannot detect external monitors

    I recently bought an Aspire V7 582PG, put in a new SSD and then installed Windows 8. The laptop works well, except that it cannot detect external monitors (in Control Panel, I get "Has not detected a different view".) I tried with 2 monitors (different models) that are known to work, via HDMI and VGA.

    I thought it might be a driver problem. Device Manager > 'Graphics cards' show 'Display card base Microsoft' and 'NVidia GEForce GT 750 M. The two drivers are up-to-date. 'Monitors' shows 'generic PnP monitor", which is also updated.

    Then I went to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers to download the driver for my model. The only one who had the relevant air was:

    MonitorELANTECHThe HID monitor drivers1.1.5

    Installer here: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Monitor/Monitor_ELANTECH_1.1.5_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=635...

    But when I unzip and run the Setup window closes a few seconds; I think it hangs, rather than installing correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    My Acer tabs they need additional drivers to recognize the HDMI port.

    I think having unzipped in a directory and open a DOS window with admin rights and run the application inside that. At least if an error occurs, you should be able to see. Sometimes just doubleclicking opens and closes a window so fast that you do not see the error.

    Also in looking at support for a 'ultra' V7, I see several drivers for the chipset VGA and monitor. All may be required for the video display to work.

  • Use multiple monitors with Client view

    Hello

    Quick question regarding the use of multiple monitors when connecting via the customer to view. I have many users using a monitor with a zero multi configuration client and everything works as expected. When connecting via customer discovered however the Office extends on (i.e. Outlook stretches on left and right screens) two monitors instead of 'renewal' (i.e. the prospects on the left monitor, acrobat opens on the right). Everyone is aware of a fix for this?

    Thanks in advance.

    See you soon.

    Are you sure that you are using PCoIP?  View what version do you use?  Which version of the Client that you are using a view?
