Using video

Your HP computer is a powerful video device that enables you to watch streaming video from your
favorite websites and download video and movies to watch on your computer, without needing to
access a network.

To enhance your viewing enjoyment, use one of the video ports on the computer to connect an
external monitor, projector, or TV. Most computers have a video graphics array (VGA) port, which
connects analog video devices. Some computers also have a high-definition multimedia interface
(HDMI) port, which allows you to connect a high-definition monitor or TV.

IMPORTANT:

Be sure that the external device is connected to the correct port on the computer,

using the correct cable. Check the device manufacturer's instructions if you have questions.

Connecting a VGA monitor or projector

To see the computer screen image on an external VGA monitor or projected for a presentation,
connect a monitor or projector to the computer's VGA port.

NOTE:

Adjust the screen resolution of the external device, especially if you choose the “Extend”

option. Go to Computer > More Applications > Display for best results.
