Dual Screen - HP z553 User Manual

Dual screen

The HP Digital Entertainment Center can connect more
than one display device (CRT monitor, flat panel monitor,
TV, and so on) to the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
The display defaults to the monitor after turn on if you
have two displays connected. You must set up the TV
manually. This is also called "cloning." The screen
resolution may change if you switch to two displays.
See "Viewing the screen image on a second display"
