Issue

Is it possible to plug in an external monitor to the HDMI port and use it with a mouse to select items and control lights? 

Solution

It is possible to plug in an external monitor and use it for show file feedback.  This is done by navigating to Setup > Settings > Console and enabling External Monitor mode.  

However, this display is informational only -- connecting a mouse to the console will only allow you to navigate the built-in touch screen.

With regards to the display requirements you just need to make sure the display has provisions for HDMI.
