For some reason, I had not noticed that my HP notebook had an HDMI port. When I noticed this a few days ago, I immediately ordered an HDMI cable so that I could connect the notebook to the 47" Vizio LCD HDTV. The cable arrived yesterday, and I scurried home and connected it. It is really thrilling viewing images from my Nikon D3 DSLR on the Vizio! I watched slide shows of my photographs and watched a bit of "Leave It to Beaver" via Netflix. I can offer no reason why I did not realize the notebook had an HDMI port, yet I am certainly pleased that I determined that it did and have implemented it!
