• Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

  I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

  After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

  Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

  I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.

• Portege R500 - cannot see an image on the external monitor

  I have a R500 and use a port replicator. I use a DVI connection to my main screen (monitor 22 '').

  I tried to configure the extended desktop but cannot get the external monitor to work - my laptop monitor remains off and I can't make it work even after checking the display settings to be "extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  What is the problem?

  Hello

  What happens if you connect the monitor directly to the laptop without docking station? It work?

  In addition, I would try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

• Satellite Pro L360-14F - cannot play videos on the external monitor

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14F
  Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc on the screen of the laptop, but not on the external monitor attached.
  A newspaper there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by the bath OF CPU/FPU/RAM usage.

  Which may mean that?

  You already go to the external display by using the FN + F5 keys?
  To do this.

  In addition, you must go first to the external screen and then you need to start the windows media player or other video player.

  I advise to use the VLC Player. It s free fro and plays most of the files

• HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): question seeks to use the external monitor

  I have a brand new HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx) with Windows 8.1. So far, it works fine by itself. I tried to connect an external monitor to the laptop using an HDMI cable from the laptop to a LG L246WPQ screen. The problem is that 10-15% of the left side of the content portable screen does not appear on the external monitor. Missing from the external display is the word "Start" in the upper left with roughly 2 columns to tiles. This occurs in the two "dual display" or "show only the screen 2" modes.  It's using a resolution of 1680 x 1050 times the cell phone and the LG appearing in support. Using the touch screen on the laptop I can scroll tiles to the right and see the missing columns at the far left. The information displayed on the external monitor begins as far left this screen will be displayed. In other words, there is no black and white on the left box. Except for the missing information on the left side, from the rest of the external display content seems fine. I have updated video driver of the laptop at the latest on HP.COM.  No change in behavior. I tried all the options I could find on the LG OnScreenDisplay, but nothing does the display not better. I've seen complaints on some forums that some "DPI" support added in Windows 8.1is causing many grief monitor for some people. Who would have something to do with it?

  This sounds like a video driver problem?  Something incorrect or incompatible with this LG monitor? Suggestions on other things to try?

  Thank you

  @outback ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums,

  The first thing I would try this question takes the hdmi cable and plug it on another monitor or a TV.

  If the same problem exists then LG issue.  If the same problem occurs on other screens or TV then looking at a resolution problem on the output of the system.

  Even if you can be able to higher resolutions sometimes native resolution will eventually force you to lower it.

  I have two screens at home who can manage resolution 1680 x 1050, however the native resolution is less than that.  and according to what I connect to the screen will depend on what I can get away with.

  Here are some links that you can see and which can be useful.

  Troubleshooting screen HDMI and sound problems

  I checked on the model of monitor you are using, and it seems to have this problem on many different systems.

  LG L246WPQ

  L246WP 24 '' LG display moved to the left driver Nvidia 8.15.11 - EVGA GTX 260

  Here is a list of the problems of google I found.

  The screen shifted to the left.

  I would like to know how this happens.

  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• Portege Z830: I want to disable internal LCD and use only the external monitor

  I have a Toshiba Portege z830.
  I use my laptop in "Extended desktop", mode with an external monitor, which is the main display.
  In this mode, the two screens are still on, but I want the built-in LCD screen to be opened only when I use it.

  Is this possible?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  In my opinion, this is not possible.
  In extended mode, you use and display internal but extended and the long part is visible on the external monitor.
  In such a case its any that your external monitor is set as main display.

  If you want to use an external monitor only, you can only export the video signal on external monitor by pressing FN + F5

• Tecra A10 - 1LL - connection with the external monitor

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Tecra A10.

  When I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I have to manually switch the screens because external shows nothing. When I disconnect the monitor I have to pass the screens manually with FN + F5 because the internal display shows nothing.

  My old laptop (Tecra A9 (PTS52E-0E702NGR)) is the poster automatically whenever I connected or disconnected an external monitor.

  Anyone has an idea why the A10 light automatically as the old notebook? Maybe it's the only spot in the preferences of the display driver that I don't see right now. :-)

  Hi SilverWizard,

  What happens if you try to switch on the external monitor using the options of display driver, or that this combination of buttons don t work?

  As wrote Al - eX you must update tools from Toshiba to get the keys FN working again. Everything can be downloaded here:

  It's working now?

• Tecra M3: black screen on startup, the vertical lines on the external monitor

  Hi all

  I searched a lot on the Internet for a solution to this specific problem, I have, but did not find a thread
  with exactly the same problem. I have a Toshiba Tecra M3 with Windows XP SP 3. Two weeks ago, I encountered problems with the commissioning. After a couple of times to restart it would work. Then it became worse... When I try to run I see no splash... the screen remains black. If I press the power button, I hear the fan and CD player but no screen. It is totally black. I know its working because I can go (blindly) in the installation program. Press end, and then press Y and enter. The computer will restart but still no screen.

  I plugged it to an external monitor. Pressing Fn and F5 allows switching. The external monitor shows different
  vertical lines in multiple colors. They change if I go to settings or you try to start windows.

  Does anyone have a solution to these problems?

  I have fear of solution can be given by the service only.
  In my view, this question must be tested properly.

  I can't say for sure, but to me that sounds like a technical question. Without testing you will know for sure what is the problem.
  Here on the forum we can only speculate why this happen.

  As you can see on notebooka? s LCD problem. On external it doesnâ? t properly work as well. It may be a faulty graphics card.
  Try to contact the nearest authorized Toshiba service and speak with the technician.

• Qosmio X 305-bad image on the external monitor quality

  My x 305-701 has excellent image on the original monitor, but if I connect the laptop to Acer 22 ' VGA cable I get a blurry image on the external monitor only.

  It does not matter if I use two monitors at the same time or just the Acer, the external monitor is always blurred the laptop monitor is always perfect. I tried the external monitor in 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 and have adjusted the frequency of refresh of all available parameters, 59 Hz, 60 Hz and 75 Hz, and the blurred image is still there.

  I love this Qosmio and appreciate it even more on the widescreen monitor any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I know that LCD screens are blurry if set to non-native resolution. I think you need to set the correct resolution for the external monitor. Check your external display native resolution and set in display settings.

• Refresh rate of the external monitor (closed macbook) reset

  Hello

  Im very new to OS X, I have a macbook air 13 "that I have it plugged into my external monitor acer, when he was in closed mode (clamshell) I changed frequency by accident and now I can't change this back as the ' entry is not displayed. How can I change the refresh rate of the external monitor when the settings show only if the macbook is closed? As I said, I'm new so I am not very confident through many parameters, any help is appreciated.

  If you have previously enabled "Screen sharing" Preferences-> sharing system then you can use another Mac to control this Mac and change it to one that works remotely.

  You could 'open' the Mac to use its built-in screen and then be able to change the settings of the external monitor.

  You can try to reset the setting by following the steps listed here Re: how to restore the display settings

  Hi mate

  I recommend using the FN + F5 key combination
  You can use it to switch to output the external monitor or TV.
  This key combination supports several options:
  -screen internal + external display
  -external display only
  -TV out
  -etc...

  You have to press FN + F5 several times in order to get the right output.

• Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

  Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

  I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

  More precisely:
  # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
  # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
  # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
  # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
  # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
  # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
  What can be automatically?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Hello

  How have you tried to exit from display on an external monitor?
  Usually, you use the FN + F5 key combination.
  This allows you to switch between the two screens; laptop + external display.

  I had a problem to view a video on the external monitor because the video is already running. You must switch to the external display until you start the movie, etc.

• Qosmio x 70-A-12-question on the use of the external monitor

  Hello

  am about to buy an external monitor and I was wondering what would work with my laptop.
  I want to it works like an additional surface (not a copy of my current screen) with both screens at the same time working.

  My laptop seems to have a VGA port and an HDMI port.
  I've already tried via the HDMI port with an old - probablybroken-monitor, but that has not worked.
  I don't know if this is due to the screen or my laptop.

  I also tried to search for VGA monitors, but when I checked the specs for my laptop, it does not list it could connect a monitor via VGA...

  Anyone know what would be really work?...
  Thanks in advance!

  As you have already said: the laptop supports the VGA monitor (RGB) as well as the output port HDMI output port.
  So, you can use one of the ports to connect the external monitor.

  Today, the HDMI port is a standard interface that is supported by almost all external monitors and I recommend to use the HDMI connection. HDMI supports digital signals and provides the best image quality.

  So it s your choice now to choose a good external monitor work.
