Video
Your computer enables you to use a variety of video features:
● Watch movies
● Play games over the Internet
● Edit pictures and video to create presentations
● Connect external video devices
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 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 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.
