Attaching an external monitor
5
Choose the display output by clicking the Both LCD and
CRT Display (
) button or the CRT Display Only
(
) button (with Windows 98, at the
top left
of the
screen; with Windows NT, a little to the
right of the top
center
of the screen).
Do not change the display output location while a moving
picture is being drawn—for example, playing a movie or a
game. Stop the application before changing the display
output location.
If you use the Both LCD and CRT Display function, the
external monitor must support the same resolution and the
same refresh rate as your ThinkPad computer. If you are
using an external monitor that does not support the
resolution of the ThinkPad LCD (1024 x 768) and its refresh
rate (60 Hz), do not use Both LCD and CRT Display.
You can also change the display output location by
pressing Fn+F7.
