External display

Connecting the computer to an external display device can be useful for presentations or when watching a movie. The cables required to connect an external display are sold separately. The computer supports either VGA or micro HDMI cables.

VGA cable

Micro HDMI cable

•Check the available ports on the display device to ensure that it is compatible with the computer.

•If both types of ports are available, the micro HDMI port is recommended for better audio and video quality.

•An external display is not supported when using DOS or the Command Prompt window.

•Simultaneous output to all three (LCD + CRT + HDMI) is not supported depending on the model.

Connecting to a display

1 Connect the VGA cable or micro HDMI cable to the corresponding port of the computer.

When using a VGA cable, connect the VGA adapter to the computer first.

A VGA adaptor is an optional item and may not be provided for some models.
