Problems with the Display on an External Monitor
Series A
You can use an external monitor for a temporary connection or for
diagnostics. Using an external monitor for normal operation may
result in problems such as characters not displaying.
Series B
While the external display is configurable after Windows starts, it is
best to have the display connected and turned on when the computer
boots up.
