How To Connect Laptop to HDMI Flat Screen LCD Monitor Video

Here I am connecting the Dell Vostro V130 laptop to my 23" Samsung LCD monitor which supports DVI, VGA, HDMI and has a built in tv tuner.

The laptop is running Windows 7 Professional.

The monitor is my Samsung P2370HD which is a 23" 1080p HDTV with built in TV Tuner. I paid about $250 for it over the holidays in 2009. Amazon link listing it currently at $278 http://amzn.to/hL8TDs

Using the HDMI cable, I am able to push both video and audio to the monitor making this a sweet setup for presentations or watching movies.

I'm running a contest giveaway for the laptop to make sure to enter before February 20th, 2011 at http://butyoureagirl.com/dellvostro

@raazstone great question. Is your concern a distorted display? I'm not sure on the conversion for that so you should try it and let us know how it goes! In most cases, the limitations are due to the? video card capabilities on the computer (laptop) vs the display.
