I use an external 23" monitor connected to my HP laptop via a VGA adapter available on Amazon. However I have to leave my laptop slightly open because closing it puts it into the sleep mode. There is a key st the top of the keyboard with a tv icon that press which shows a selection box on your laptop screen where you can select the external screen (has to be connected and turned on). I use an external mouse and lighted keyboard connected to my laptop via two usb inputs. Hope this helps.
