NOTE: The School District of Lee County does not support monitors nor other external devices used in conjunction with a student Chromebook. LVS follows the directives and policies of the LCSD and will not support external monitors. If a family uses a monitor with the school-issued Chromebook, then that family is 100% responsible for support of that device. This guide is provided as a help guide only and does not promote support of external monitors.
You can connect your Chromebook to a monitor or TV with an HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, or USB-C port... or with the use of a Docking Station. Please refer to the instructions below to try solutions that might work for your particular set up.

Use a docking station
Based on the Chromebook, you can connect up to 1-3 external monitors. Find "Works With Chromebook" certified docking stations.
Troubleshoot connection issues
If you use a USB cable to connect your Chromebook to a monitor or docking station, the cable’s speed must be fast enough to support the connection. If you try to connect with a USB cable and the monitor doesn't respond, or you receive a “Cable may not support displays” message, then replace your cable with a USB cable with a performance rating of SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps or higher.
