Using an external monitor

Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you can also connect other external display devices to one of two available video ports:

❖A television via the television jack.

TECHNICAL NOTE: In Windows 98 Second Edition, you don’t need an Internet connection to watch cable or broadcast TV, but you must purchase a compatible TV tuner card.

❖A video display device, such as a video projection unit, via the television jack.

❖An external SVGA monitor via the video-out port.

Before connecting your television, video projector, monitor or other display device, configure your computer for the type of device you’re connecting. To do this, refer to your operating system documentation.

Connecting the display device

If you’re connecting a television or other video display device to the computer’s television jack, refer to the following section for guidelines on choosing a video cable, then refer to Connecting a device to the television jack on page 123.

If you’re connecting an SVGA monitor, skip to Connecting an external monitor on page 123.
