Thank you. I have this one on my Amazon "wish list":

That one you have selected is HDMI on both ends. It will only work if
your video card has an HDMI output. Otherwise, you're going to have to
go with a USB to HDMI cable.

Well, that's good to know. I will be sure to check that the unit I get
has an HDMI output jack. I was rather taking it for granted that an HD
laptop would have that--and I know it's not good to assume...

My wife talked me into going to Best Buy tonight (really), and I was
surprised how
many different laptops and tablets they had. Virtually all had Windows
8. There are
definitely more 1080P units than they had just a few months ago, and
more afffordable
ones too.

So am I to understand that you can make Windows 8 play just like Windows7?
I should have tried it while I was at the store...
