Connecting an External Display Device

Chapter 3. 55

Using the computer

If you connect an external display device such as a monitor, TV, projector, etc., you can view the picture on the wider screen of the external device when you give a presentation or watch a video or movie.

The computer provides an analog monitor port (D-SUB) and a digital video/audio port (HDMI).

The visual quality is sharper when a display device is connected through the HDMI port rather than the analog monitor port (D-SUB) port. Therefore, when multiple ports are supported, connect a display device to a port that provides the better visual quality.

Before you start, check the port and cable of the external display device and then connect the display device to the computer.
