Connect Lenovo ThinkPad W520 to TV - HDMI??

    I have a relatively new Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and I want to watch Netflix on my TV. I tried to connect the laptop to the TV using the HDMI-to-HDMI cable but I could not find a HDMI port on the laptop. There are ports that look like HDMI but they don't fit right.

    Anyone have any idea what these ports are?

    From a different forum
    Quote "BUT, the actual port still is a Dual-mode Displayport. It is not a HDMI port. "

    For your info......you can get DisplayPort to HDMI adaptors
