Connecting an external monitor or projector

Your computer has both an external monitor port and a DisplayPort that allow you to connect external
monitors and projectors.

Using the external monitor port

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

To connect a VGA 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 DisplayPort

The DisplayPort connects a digital display device such as a high-performance monitor or projector. The
DisplayPort delivers higher performance over the VGA external monitor port and improves digital
connectivity.
