    I have a 5672wmli and i can't make my lcd tv my primary display. It only allows me to extend my desktop to my lcd tv. However, when i hook it up to my 20" lcd, it works just fine. Anybody know if what i can do to make it my primary display? thanks!

    My Fn keys allow me to do this. I hold the purple Fn key on the keyboard and there is a little picture on the F4 button that shows a little laptop screen, a bar, then a bigger screen. When I do this it makes the external the primary monitor. Check your documentation for the Fn keys and what they do as each computer's keys are setup a little differently.
