• 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

• using the iMac 27 inch mid 2011 as an external monitor with a PC via mini DisplayPort

  I find conflicting information via web search to be able to use my iMac 27 inches, mid-2011 as an external monitor with a PC. Is it possible to use the iMac as an external display via the Display Mode target between Thunderbolt port of the iMac with a PC equipped with a mini DisplayPort?

  Of course, I hear it's possible with the appropriate cable. But if it is not possible, I would like to know for sure.

  Thanks in advance for your help with this. _henry

• 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

• 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.

• Tecra S2 cannot switch to the external display

  With my Tecra S2 and when it is docked in the Port Replicator APR - III, I used to be able to connect my external (via DVI) display so that it was to automatically screen output to we by default, not only to the windows startup screen (Yes, I noticed the topic on the forum at the start of windows) but also when display login screen and beyond.

  Only problem now is that there is no more than anything, she now only sends the output to the external display when starting and then switches back to the computer screen displaying the screen Windows login and when you are connected to Windows.
  Also after commissioning and connection, FN + F5 does not at all, even when you switch to DVI, display does not illuminate.

  I feel that either the nVidia properties settings (double screen, unique, etc.) or the Mobile Extension Manager have something to do with it.
  Anyone who knows the answer / solution to this problem?
  Experts on the Mobile Extension Manager or several monitor in nVidia settings with of Toshiba Tecra?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as a default monitor.
  I use a Satellite phone and sometimes I plug it into the external monitor and use the extended desktop option.
  During notebook startup procedure the windows boot image will appear on the second screen, but the user name and the operating system appears on the screen of the laptop.
  I think you can use the external monitor but you can't set it as a default monitor and you can use it if the operating system has been released.

• Cannot use external monitor with my Tecra A9

  Hi all

  Need help on this:

  I connected to an external monitor to my Tecra A9 but the monitor shows me blue color.
  I tested other monitors and reset the graphics card to the default settings but the same stills.

  Can you give me some advice on how to find out the solution for this?
  I really need the external monitor to work because I need to edit some screens of the application.

  Thanks for your attention!
  Pago

  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.

• Re: Tecra A9 keeps DΘmarrer on the external monitor

  I have a Tecra A9 running on XP, it has mobile Intel 965 Express integrated graphics. I use it with an external monitor, but whenever he starts it keeps or default in the screen even if I continue to put the laptop by default.

  Has anyone seen this problem and how to fix it so that the laptop is still the default monitor?

  Hello

  You have connected the monitor directly on the laptop or with a port replicator?

  On my Toshiba laptop, I can t view this problem so in your case, I would try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before update you the display driver, you must remove the old version and then restart the laptop.
  On the update of the BIOS, I can give you some tips: close all running applications as your antivirus and firewall. In addition, you must be logged in as an administrator and extract all the files from zip archive before you start the update.

  Good bye

• Tecra A9 and express port replicator - two external monitors

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop and a Toshiba express port replicator, the Replicator has two outputs DVI & VGA, but I just can't seam to allow them both to use my funds rather than 1 desktop computer screens and the screen of the laptop.

  Is this possible?

  See you soon

  Ash.

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible. The video signal may not be spited and sent to two video output ports. If you want to use two external monitors, you need an additional video source as Toshiba Dynadock or another solution.

  By the way; First remove the old graphics driver before you install the most recent update!

• Tecra A11 on Replicator Toshiba showing not external monitor

  I tried 2 nine different laptops on 2 different nine port replicator toshiba both experience the same problem.

  When you connect to the laptop from the dock on the first part of windows XP loading is shown. When windows starts, the external display is disabled. The laptop only back on the screen external return after you have opened a windows session. For a laptop connected to a domain or by using a password, it's hopeless because you can't see the screen to connect. If you open the laptop, you can enter the password, but then, when you close the lid, the laptop goes to sleep.

  I have tried changing the settings in the mobile externsions and display options, but he remembers only the settings for when you are connected. Until the external display just doesn't work.

  This could be a problem because laptops have been downgraded using the supplied XP toshiba image and full support with vista only?

  I contacted toshiba support and they tell me it's a defective dock but I replaced it with another brand new and same problem exists. Hoping that someone else has an idea here...

  > When you connect the laptop to the dock on the first part of windows XP loading is shown. When windows starts, the external display is disabled. The laptop only back on the screen external return after you have opened a windows session.

  It's not unusual and it ok s since the external monitor was not chosen as a primary monitor.
  Laptops screen is a main display and so you can see the start of Toshiba computers screen laptop screen.

  > If you open the laptop, you can enter the password, but then, when you close the lid, the laptop goes to sleep.
  As described above the screen of laptop computers is set as the main monitor and so you'll see everything on laptop screen until the end of the loading of windows.
  PS: you can turn off the option that activates the mode 'sleep' closing the lid.

• 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

• Reset the workspace when switching between laptop and external monitor

  Is there a way to have my work space reset itself (or better yet change between two workspaces) when I pass between my laptop and my external monitor to my office. Adobe likes to crush my workspace in a sea of useless, mutilated pallets when I leave my office. There at least had the kindness to put it when I get back.

  I realize I can manually reset and I even put in place a combination of keys, but I don't see why he can't do it on its own. Or better yet, stop blend it upward in the first place.

  Unfortunately, I think it's an OS and PS reacts only to have to resize it to another monitor.

  What is the resolution of the external display?

  This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post moved to the forum of laptop MacBook Pro or another appropriate forum.
