Question : Problem: How to connect a laptop to a large LCD screen

Hi,

My client has a desktop and a new laptop. When he's at home, he wants to be able to connect the laptop to his desktop's flat LCD screen so he can work off of a large screen. Does anyone know the best way to make this connection?

Thanks.

Kara

Answer : Problem: How to connect a laptop to a large LCD screen

Just plug the monitor into the laptop the same way it plugs into the desktop.
Once the laptop is plugged in to the external monitor he should just have to press Fn and an F key to switch between laptop display and monitor display.

i.e.
IBM Laptops - Fn + F7
Dell Laptops - Fn +F8

He could also extend his desktop onto the flat LCD monitor by right clicking on desktop>>properties>>settings tab>>extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor

Hope this helps!
