    I have a presentation this weekend with my shiny new V6Va. I just hooked it up to an external monitor and then to a projector and neither one received a signal! I'm pressing Fn+F8. Am I missing something? :confused:

    You may need to press it a few times, for some reason, for me, the first 5-6 times does nothing then after that it works irregularly...

    Don't you need to reboot with the external display connected in order for it to be recognised?

    Try right clicking the desktop ---> Properties

    Then the Settings Tab ---> Advanced ---> Displays

    From there you can turn on the external monitor or TV or both or all 3.. hahah..
