If you go to System Settings > Displays, you will see two different displays: one will be your laptop, and one will be your external monitor.

Select the laptop monitor, and flip the switch to 'off.' Then select the external monitor and make sure the switch is set to 'on.' Afterwards, click on the 'Apply' button and verify that only your external monitor is now displaying.
