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. 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.
Connecting an HDMI TV or monitor
To see the computer screen image on a high-definition TV or monitor, connect the high-definition
device according to the following instructions.
To connect an HDMI device to your computer, you need an HDMI cable, sold separately.
NOTE: Adjust the screen resolution of the external device, especially if you choose the “Extend”
option. Click the System menu icon at the far right of the top panel, click Displays and then select a
resolution from the drop-down menu next to Resolution for best results.
To connect a high-definition TV or monitor to your computer:
1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the high-definition TV or monitor.
3. Press f4 to alternate the computer screen image between 3 display states:
● View the screen image on the computer only.
● View the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and external device.
● View the screen image on the external device only.
Each time you press f4 , the display state changes.
