Satellite L550 - Can I extend the display?

Hello,
I was wondering if I can extend the desktop onto an external monitor? I need to be able to work on a large double screen desktop. I know the L550 has a VGA out, however - I have a feeling it can only be used to send desktop 1 to another display or duplicate.
If it makes any difference the model I am looking to buy is the L550-1C9 or L550-1CC
Thanks :)

"switch between laptop LCD and external monitor very easy using FN+F5 key combination"
Switch between? I need to be able to use both internal & external displays to create one larger display.
I have to have one monitor for research while I use the other for writing. I need the 17" display as If I'm out somewhere
I could make-do sitting word & firefox together until I get back home.
The HDMI port is not necessary, however, even although it's not a requirement - I would like to have that option.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15 - P196na - Can I extend the display

    Hi,I am not very computer literate, but I was hoping somebody could please tell me whether my laptop as detailed in the subject above can have an extended display to another monitor?I only have a HDMI input, so I purchased some VGA - HDMI leads, however all the screen says is check video display and it will not identify the other laptop. I attempted to follow the process on an online forum on another site, but ended up with a black screen. Whatever I did I couldnt get rid of the black screen and I have reset the computer in its entirety. I obviously don't want to do this again. Can anyone help? 

    What other laptop? Please explain exactly what hardware you are trying to connect here. You do not have HDMI input you have HDMI output so if you are trying to span the desktop across 2 laptops it is not going to work. You can hook a monitor up to your laptop using the HDMI port as output. 

  • Can I use my iPad mini to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

    Is there a way to utilize my ipad mini wifi, to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

    There is no need to charge it before you first use it.  You cannot run the battery too low as the system will shut the device off before that happens to protect the battery.
    Generally speaking, your Lithium battery will have the longest useable life if you avoid deep cycles.  Since you can plug and unplug it as you wish, the best thing to do is just charge it up (however much) whenever it is convenient to do so (whether it is 10% discharged, or 20% or 50% - basically don't pay any attention to the battery level, just plug it in when it is convenient to do so to keep the battery topped up).  And try to avoid frequent deep cycles where you run it all the way or very near to the point it auto-shuts off.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • My printer menu is no longer displaying in English. I can't read the display to try to troubleshoot

    My boss' printer HP Color LaserJet CP2025 - menu no longer displays in English. I can't read the display to troubleshoot or reset. Is there another way to change the setting?

    I have not verified these steps, but this is what I located:
    A. To change the display language back to English, please perform the following steps:
    1. Press the right arrow 2 times, press the OK button (you should be in the System Setup menu).
    2. Press the OK button again (you should be in Language). 
    3. Press the right arrow until you see something that may be English, press OK button. The menu is a continuous loop, so if you miss it the first time the option will return.

  • How can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    how can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    Only AppleTV1 has an internal PATA drive. The largest PATA drive available is 250gb.
    Hacks are available to use the USB port on AppleTV1 to access more storage.
    AppleTV2 does not have an internal drive.
    Why do you need more storage in your AppleTV? iTunes streams video to AppleTV so no need to store it locally.

  • How can I extend the range of my chart?

    I've asked this question before on here, and found that shift-clicking for more cells has usually worked, but I have now run into a new problem...
    My chart used to cover the range B5:P50. However, since moving a column it now only covers the cell range H5:P50. My chart is on a separate sheet. Usually if I want to add more to the range it will be downwards, so I just click on the chart, then click on the Main Sheet and shift-click to add more cells. Unfortunately, because the range I want is to the left of the highlighted area this time, I can't use shift-click.
    How can I extend the range of my chart so it includes cells to the left of the currently selected range? In Excel I'd be able to just type the range in a box somewhere, rather than all this GUI-based clicking and dragging which is actually more difficult! Is there somewhere I can just type the range in that I want?
    Thanks!

    "I want to add some series that are missing from the chart. How do I do that?"
    Here's a two step process to do that:
    Select the chart to show the the data selection on the associated chart.
    Click in the leftmost column of the data, and drag left to change (move) the selection (blue arrow) for the result below:
    Grab the control handle (small circle) at the bottom right corner of the selection, and drag  right, as indicated by the blue arrow.
    Result shown below.
    Reassign colours and do other formatting as desired.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • HT1689 How can I extend the number of times my phone rings before going to answerphone

    How can I extend the number of times my Iphone 4s rings before it goes to answerphone

    Call you carrier and ask them how you can change this.  The number of rings before voicemail kicks in is set by your carrier.  Some have the option to do it from your phone if you know the sequence of codes to send, but you need to ask your own carrier how to do it for their system.

  • Upon Removing Ubuntu, How can I Extend the C and D Drive in Windows 7?

    Upon Removing Ubuntu, How can I Extend the C and D Drive in Windows 7?
    Previously, my Computer had Windows 7 and Ubuntu as a dual Boot.  I followed some online instructions on how to Delete Grub (Ubuntu's Startup Boot Menu) and Ubuntu Partitions (<edited>) and it worked.  I wanted to expand my remaining C and
    D Partitions, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. 
    Windows 7's Disk Management shows my Laptop's only Disk divided into 3 logical drives ( i.e., the Recovery Drive, C, and D Drives).  The Order of the Drives is Disk 0 is:
        1.46 GB - Recovery Drive
      53.71 GB - C Drive
      42.79 GB - Free Space
    191.19 GB - Drive for my Personal Data/Files
        8.93 GB - Unallocated
    NOTE:  The Free Space and D Drive have a Green Box around them.
    I would like to take the Free Space and Unallocated Space and apportion it between the C and D Drives., as stated prior, I'm not sure how to do this.  Do you have any reliable and
    preferably free options? 

    Hi Bobby Marlee,
    Please share us a screenshot about disk management.
    If my understanding is right, you want to extend the C and D drive by using the free space and unallocated space.
    If you want to use Disk Management to extend the drive space, I think we need to back up the files and delete Free Space, Drive for my Personal Data/Files, and then extend C: drive and create D: drive by using the Unallocated space.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List?

    How can you modify the displayed columns on a Related Information List? For example, how could you add the "Type" column to the List of columns displayed for Service Requests when you are viewing the Contacts Detail page?
    Thanks

    I'd have to say I think this is one of the biggest flaws in the OnDemand system currently. The solution I have come up with is to create reports and put them in webapplets showing the data I want to show. I have then removed the standard Related Info List Objects and added weblinks to create new records as the button on the List object is also gone.
    Keep in mind that doing this does slow things down a little, so it may not work if you have a big user base.

  • How can i extend the customer  to other  sales area

    how can i extend the customer  to other  sales area

    Hello Harish,
      Once you have a customer (eg. 100002) in one sales area (eg. 0010/10/10), you open XD01 tcode, enter the same  customer number (100002) in customer field and enter sales area (say u want to create in 0020/10/10) in which you want to create the same customer. Now in Reference section, enter the customer number (100002) and sales area in which already the customer exists (0010/10/10). When you press enter, it allows you to modify the sales area data for the customer for new sales area.
    then save it.
    Hope it is clear...

  • Can we extend the Throwable class instead of Exception Class??

    Hi all..
    Can we extend the Throwable class instead of Exception Class while creating our own custom Exception?If not Why?
    Please give your valuble advices..
    Ramesh.

    I don't want to hijack the thread here, but in a conversational tone...on a related note.. I've thought about this too a bit and wondered if there are some recommended practices about catching and handling Throwable in certain applications. Like the other day I was debugging a web application that was triggering a 500. The only way I could find the problem in an error stack was to write code to catch Throwable, log the stack, and then re-throw it. I considered it "debug" code, and once I solved the problem I took the code out because, my understanding is, we don't want to be handling runtime problems... or do we? Should I have a catch clause for Throwable in my servlet and then pass the message to ServletException?
    So along with the OP question, are there separate defined occasions when we should or should not handle Throwable? Or does it just all depend on circumstance?

    If you have an Exchange account on your iPad for which the admistrator has specified a limit on how long you can set the auto-lock, the only way to change it is to remove the Exchange account. Once you put the Exchange account back on, the restriction will be back in place. Apple has nothing to do with this.
    Exchange admistrator often require that devices be passcode protected and that the device will autolock so they delete the "Never" setting.
