• 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.

• I can't enter the bios using the external monitor

  Hello, I use Dell Inspiron n4010 for the last 2.5 years. My laptop monitor stopped working that's why I bought an external Dell monitor... Its works fine but I need to install the windows now... Unfortunately, I cannot get into the BIOS of the external display and can not change the device to initialize DVD ROM.

  Please can someone tell how to enter the BIOS using the external monitor (I put it as a main monitor, but it still does not work)? The Monte screen after windows starts... Is it possible to get it back? Help, please...

  Yes - I know - it's what I'm trying to show you how!

  If you follow my instructions in my last post, you will see nothing for the "six seconds".but the startup process stops at the BIOS screen and FN & F1 or F1 key will rise from the dead internal to external monitor.

• Issue using the external monitor.

  I was given an external monitor that I could connect to my laptop.  I forgot the keys I had hit to use the external monitor.  I got disabling it on the screen that turned my monitor on the laptop.  I can't find a way to re - turn on the monitor.  I can't have anything other than a white one on my laptop screen.  I would really appreciate how to turn my monitor on the laptop.  All information would be welcomed.  Thank you-dukey41

  Hello

  Check with the manufacturer of the laptop's support, their books online and ask in their forums.
  Some have special tools/methods to control one 2nd monitor other than Windows,

  Right click on the desktop - properties Graphics

  Right click on desktop - graphics Options

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings

  These should help you to implement and control.

• 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.

• How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

  Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

  It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

  Thank you.
  Gary

  Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
  Is it only a CRT monitor available?
  The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

  Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor

• W530 need to use the external monitor as the main

  I have a training environment with the help of portable computers W530, who are locked in a box in front of the offices. It is not practical to reach the computer as it's hidden and so I need to use the dvi cable external monitor for the configuration of the bios, boot order, etc..

  Currently, boot options are hidden from the external screen until windows loads. The external monitor would then become active. A way around the monitor to the laptop altogether?

  Thank you

  Russ

  VGA is driven by Nvidia, so apply the same parameters. Comes to the boot monitor in VGA BIOS (I forgot what we call this specific setting, as my W530 is at home). You should always pass nvidia Optimus only.

• Turn off display when you use the external monitor R61?

  Hello

  I have a ThinkPad R61, which I use with an external monitor.  Somehow, I had in place for months with the laptop out of the screen and the monitor on.  I've used today at a meeting to feed a projector, selected somehow dieting Fn F7 of presentation such as the screen and the projector are-as I wanted - then home, re-installed with my external monitor and cannot find out how to turn off the display on the laptop.  The selections under Fn F7 do not allow this combination.  I tried the trick you offered, Fn F3 to turn off the display, but it turned out the two views.  (Now, how can I reverse this setting?)

  It sounds like a requirement of switching every day, but I can't find a clue in aid of ThinkVantage, manual mini, on the website, etc.  Thank you

  WaynO salvation,

  After pressing Fn + F7, click on manage plans... to open the Director presentation window. Then click the new... button. You should be able to put in place a system to only display on the external monitor. After setting up, make sure to check the box in the column Menu Fn + F7 to have your new schema appears in the menu when you press Fn + F7.

• Unable to get the maximum screen resolution when you use the external monitor

  Hello

  I use Windows 8 on laptop ASUS K55A. I use an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW). Everything works fine except that I do not get the maximum resolution on the external display. The only way I see a sort of an overview of the good resolution is when I choose "extend these screens", but it's very uncomfortable when there's always one screen, I don't actually see.
  How can I increase the resolution of the screen on the external screen? (now, it's on 'show desktop only on 2')
  Thank you!

  I use Windows 8 on laptop ASUS K55A.

  So first a Bing search finds that ASUS K55A probably has the chip Intel HD 4000

  Then,

  https://communities.Intel.com/thread/30360

  (BING search engine for)
  Two monitors specifications Intel HD Graphics 4000

  )

  Graphics card Intel doesn't support double bond, so 1920 x 1200 is the maximum for DVI and HDMI, 2560 x 1440 is only possible with a display port. This is indicated in each product page.
  

• Portege M800-A312 can't play using the full screen

  I just bought the A312 M800 and found that I can not play games using the full screen. I already tried pressing Alt + Enter during the game, put "full screen" in the option game, change the display resolution same as game (800 x 600) resolution, set the Compatibility tab, etc.. But everything went wrong. All my games to the point in the middle of the screen with black background. Did someone knows how to fix this problem so I can play my games using the full screen?

  Have you tried a BIOS update and the latest graphics drivers?

• Vista on the XPS M1330 laptop lost wireless when the lid closed (using the external monitor)

  Hello

  I bought an external monitor/keyboard/mouse for my laptop XPS M1330 (connection of the monitor via a HDMI to DVI cable).  However as soon as the lid is closed the wireless network stops working - opening the lid immediately launches the application again.  A network through a physical cable connection works with the closing of the cover.  Note, the network remains connected (or at least is always intended to be connected) it has not sent or received no information, while the lid is closed.

  XPS M1330 laptop under Vista Home Premium SP1 - Wireless card is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG running the latest drivers 11.5.0.32.

  Power options are obviously set to shut down the computer laptop shut down, goes to stand by, or go into hybernation when the lid is closed... it is set to 'status quo '.  The properties of the wireless card has the "Ad hoc power management" disabled and the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked.

  When the cover is opened, the monitor takes the maximum size of the screen of the laptop, which goes against the objective set for the monitor in the first place.

  (As a side note, the laptop also refused to work with a wired via a network connection "homeplug" - even if a hub is placed between the laptop and the homeplug - and I refuse to run a cable between the router as the laptop will be used in another room of the router).

  Is there a solution to this, or is this a problem with Vista?  (Because if this is the case, it is yet another nail in the coffin - and it becomes difficult to find any more room for nails more!  Windows 7 is fast approaching!)

  See you soon,.

  Hi tom101449,

  ·          The WiFi was working fine earlier?

  ·          You did it all change hardware or software on your computer before this problem?

  Method 1

  If the problem occurs after you install the latest drivers Intel PRO / Wireless, you can restore the drivers for the card wireless to the previous version. For more information, see this link.

  Restore a driver with its previous version

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/restore-a-driver-to-its-previous-version

  Method 2

  When you connect to your wireless network, make sure that the option 'Save this network' is checked.

  In addition, right-click on the network > properties, then on the connection tab, check the box that says "connect automatically when this network is in range.

  Reference:

• How auto turn off the screen of the laptop when you use the external monitor?

  I don't wan turn on laptop screen and my external monitor at the same time. So is it possible to do automatic screen of my laptop to turn off as soon as I plug my external monitor to my laptop vga cable (without pressing Fn + F2 keys)?

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if it's possible, but you could try to go into display settings and set an external because it is main if possible display and then disable the laptop with Fn + F2 but idk if it will remain inactive if you portable computer power, then on again :/

  Update: how to do this, right-click on the screen area and select the screen resolution while having the connected external display then of you will find a drop down a 3rd or a 4th do not remember but inside, you'll find stuff like show desktop on the screen 1 or 2 to find out what your external display screen number is and apply it to this form then computer laptop screen should turn black as it is turned off and you will see desktop area is on external display so I hope that this has resolved your request.
