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
connect to 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 may have an high-definition multimedia interface
(HDMI) port, which allows you to connect a high-definition monitor or TV.
Your computer has the following external video ports:
●
VGA
●
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
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.
NOTE: See Getting to know your computer on page 4 for information about your computer's video
ports.
