Your HP computer is a powerful video device that enables you to watch streaming video from your favorite websites and download video and movies to watch on your computer without needing to connect to a network.

To enhance your viewing enjoyment, use one of the video ports on the computer to connect an external monitor, projector, or TV.

Your computer may have one or more of the following external video ports:

VGA

DisplayPort

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the external device is connected to the correct port on the computer, using the correct cable. Check the device manufacturer's instructions if you have questions.

NOTE: Refer to the Getting to know your computer on page 4 section for information about your computer's video ports.

VGA

The external monitor port, or VGA port, is an analog display interface that connects an external VGA display device such as an external VGA monitor or a VGA projector to the computer.

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

DisplayPort

The DisplayPort connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition television, or to any compatible digital or audio component. The DisplayPort delivers higher performance than the VGA external monitor port and improves digital connectivity.

NOTE: To transmit video and/or audio signals through the DisplayPort, you need a DisplayPort cable (purchased separately).

NOTE: One DisplayPort device can be connected to the DisplayPort port on the computer. The information displayed on the computer screen can be simultaneously displayed on the DisplayPort device.
