Closed notebook - external display still work? TS 15 r254dx

[JRTinz]

Community:

Before I spend the money for an external monitor for my Notebook (TS 15 r254dx), does anyone know if the PC will still run the external monitor when closed?  I just have the HDMI port, no docking station.  I'm going to assume I can use it in expanded display mode, though that is not directly addressed anywhere I can find either.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

Hi,


You can choose default action to Do nothing in Lid close option in battery and plugged in states:

Then project to external monitor:

I cannot test until I actually buy a monitor, but I followed the links Dean provided and the information and options were exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
