Connect your Samsung Chromebook to an external monitor or TV

In order to connect your Chromebook to a monitor, the right kind of cable is required. Depending on your external monitor, you will need one of the following cables:

• HDMI Cable
• DisplayPort or HDMI to USB C-Type cable
• DisplayPort or HDMI with a UDB C-Type adapter

1. When you're ready, connect one end of the cable to the external device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to either one of the USB C-Type ports on the side of your Chromebook.

For additional information on connecting to a monitor, including what cables or adapters to use, please see our monitor guide.

There are two different display settings available when your Chromebook is connected to a monitor: extending the screen or mirroring exactly what is displayed on your Chromebook. Switching between the two settings is easy, and you can swap between them based on what you're doing.

1. To switch the external device between Extended and Mirrored, navigate to and select the Status Tray.
2. Select Settings, then select Displays under Device.
3. The two displays will appear in the menu: your Chromebook display and your connected monitor. You can click on the two tabs to change the display settings, such as the display size.
4. By default, your Chromebook's screen will be extended to the external monitor. If you'd rather mirror your Chromebook's screen, check the box that says Mirror Built-in display.
5. To go back to extending your Chromebook's screen, simply uncheck Mirror Built-in display.
