When an external monitor or television is connected, the same image appears on both the eMac display and the external monitor (known as video mirroring).

Note: Because of the display limitations of most televisions, images displayed on a television screen are of lower quality than those on the built-in display or external monitor.

connector:

1Turn on the external display or projector.
