Using video

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. Your computer has an 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.
