Connecting an HDMI device
The computer includes an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port. The HDMI port connects
the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition television, or any compatible
digital or audio component.
The computer supports one HDMI device connected to the HDMI port, while simultaneously supporting
an image on the computer display or any other supported external display.

separately), available from most electronic retailers.
