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 have a DisplayPort, which connects an optional
digital display device, such as a high-performance monitor or projector. Also, some computers 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.
