EWAYota · 03-26-2008, 11:56 AM

We just got a larger flat panel monitor from a buddy for free, 19". Would like to connect the Laptop to the PC for a larger screen. What type of cord will I need? Is it just a matter of connecting it then pressing F4 (I think thats the correct Fn button, (square around a square/square)?

Now, splitting the screens is a different story, I'm sure I'd need to purchase some type of software to do that?

Thanks guys.
