Hi,

 

Your machine has the following ports at its back

 

Figure : Back I/O panel

  1. USB 2.0: 2
  2. Optical S/PDIF-out port
  3. VGA
  4. DVI-D
  5. LAN
  6. USB 2.0: 2
  7. USB 3.0: 2
  8. Audio: Center/Subwoofer port (yellow orange)
  9. Audio: Rear Speaker Out port (black)
  10. Audio: Side Speaker Out port (gray)
  11. Audio: Line In port (light blue)
  12. Audio: Line Out port (lime)
  13. Audio: Microphone port (pink)

A simple DVI-D to HDMI cable will do the job. For example:
