Laptop HDMI question

    I just got a new laptop and it has a socket for HDMI. I have a HDTV already. Does that mean if I connect them with a HDMI cable and play, for example, a HD movie trailer on the laptop I will be getting the full HD experience? Thanks for any help :)

    yep it does,i know from experience as i use both dvi to hdmi and also hdmi to hdm on a 42" tvi.Its simple to do and perfect for watching movies.All you have to do is rightclick on desktop,properties,settings and then tick the extend to monitor.This will give you a default type of set up where you drag viewing material over to the other screen.For me if you want more advanced settings or just a mirror like image on your tv you just go into your graphic card settings.

    I regularly connect my laptop to my 42" Vizio HDTV through HDMI. If you can find the right HD Trailers to playback, it will be true 1080p. So far I've played Extended-Trailers of Iron Man and Dark Night through it ;) and they looked great. If you have a Bluray drive it will work magnificintly.
