Switching the screen image (fn+f2)


Press fn+f2 to switch the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a monitor is connected to the device, pressing fn+f2 alternates the screen image from device display to monitor display to simultaneous display on both the device and the monitor.

Most external monitors receive video information from the device using the external VGA video standard. The fn+f2 hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving video information from the device.

The following video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f2 hotkey:

LCD (device display)
External VGA (most external monitors)
