network.
To enhance your viewing enjoyment, use one of the video ports on the computer to connect an external
monitor, projector, or TV.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the external device is connected to the correct port on the computer, using the
correct cable. Follow the device manufacturer's instructions.

projector. The Dual-Mode DisplayPort delivers higher performance than the VGA external monitor port and
improves digital connectivity.
