    Hi all,

    I´ve got this notebook and I want to use it to feed my 1080P projector with a HDMI signal.

    Too bad there´s only VGA out. And if I buy an external gfx-card I might have to settle with a max res. of 1600x1200 - which I simply can´t.

    Then I thought of getting a docking station. They´re quite expensive though. Can anyone recommend a cheap and proven dock that adds HDMI to this notebook?

    If there are other solutions to get HDMI, please let me know.

    Regards,
    Erik

    Update, noticed that USB video adapters can send 1920x1080.

    My problem is that the "native" USB is damaged, so I have to use an "Expresscard to USB" card to get USB working.

    Would it be a good enough solution to buy a USB video adapter that I connect to the expresscard? Thinking about latencies and so on..
