Expanding Your Computer

Connecting a VGA or HDMI
Display Monitor

If you want the benefits of a larger display screen with higher resolution,
you can connect an external display monitor to your computer

Your computer supports a VGA connector and a HDMI connector. HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an audio/video interface that
transmits uncompressed digital data and therefore delivers true HD quality.
As a home theater system most likely includes a widescreen HDTV and
surround-sound system, you can use the home theater system to view/play
media stored on your computer by connecting via the HDMI interface.

Follow this procedure to connect an external monitor:

1.

Turn off the computer.

2.

Depending on the type of your monitor, plug the monitor’s signal
connector to the computer’s VGA or HDMI connector.

VGA

HDMI
