Connecting an external monitor or projector

Your computer has an external monitor port that allows you to connect external monitors and projectors.

Using the external monitor port

The external monitor port connects an external display device, such as an external monitor or a projector,
to the computer.

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 and the device.

Using the HDMI port

Select computer models include an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port. The 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.
