DisplayPort (select models only)

The DisplayPort connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition
television, or to any compatible digital or audio component. The DisplayPort delivers higher

To transmit video and/or audio signals through the DisplayPort, you need a DisplayPort

cable (purchased separately).

One DisplayPort device can be connected to the DisplayPort port on the computer. The

information displayed on the computer screen can be simultaneously displayed on the DisplayPort
