Laptop and monitor connectivity

[rakeshgupta75]

I have a Compaq laptop that has VGA output ports. I have an external monitor BENQ connected trough the Vga port and it works perfectly.
I am planning to use this monitor for screen and keep the laptop aside.
what is the setting for that.

tinker with personalize settings when you right click on the desktop. you can set your external monitor as your main display and have your laptop screen as extended display or simply disabled
