To connect a display device, connect the device cable to the external monitor port.

NOTE: If a properly connected external display device does not display an image, press fn+f4 to transfer the image to the device. Repeatedly pressing fn+f4 alternates the screen image between the computer display, the device, and simultaneous display on both the computer display and the device.

Using the HDMI port

The High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition television, or any compatible digital or audio component.

The computer can support one HDMI device connected to the HDMI port, while simultaneously supporting an image on the computer display or any other supported external display.

NOTE: To transmit video signals through the HDMI port, you need an HDMI cable (purchased separately), available from most electronics retailers.
