How to Connect a MacBook Pro to a Display
If you're getting tired of watching digital videos, websites and photos on your MacBook's relatively small screen, you can connect a MacBook Pro to an external display to enjoy your digital media and favorite sites on a larger screen. The MacBook Pro has a mini DisplayPort that lets you output the video from your computer's graphics card to a monitor input. The connection will take only a minute or two, and you won't have to install any additional software on your computer.
