Once I got the external monitor to work with the netbook, it displayed in letterbox format. That was kinda sorta tolerable, but then I added the "Add This" Mozilla add-on to Firefox, which automatically puts another toolbar on the screen. In letterbox, that meant I had about three inches of screen not taken up with task and toolbars.
Turned out (after a little Google searching) that pressing the Fn and F8 keys turns off the netbook's screen and displays content only on the external monitor, and it also auto-adjusts to the size of the monitor you've got. So now I'm back to using the full size of my HP w1907 flatscreen monitor.
It's always something.
