How do I do it?

About to get my f8sn-b1 in the mail and have already gotten Rome Total War and Civilization IV to start off with (I know theres Total War Medeivel II but I want to beat this one first... my old notebook has a dedicated graphics card which is weaker the common integrated graphics)

Anyhow, I am gonna get a wireless notebook/mouse set and want to hook the notebook to my 42" flatscreen in the living room. How do I go about doing this? What do I buy?

Im excited just thinking about it

the absense of an hdmi port makes the connection a little more cumbersome as you have to hook up external speakers or use bluetooth headphones to the laptop. other then that its almost plug and play. Once you got your dvi to hdmi converter cable it should either autodetect or you may need to detect the dsiplay in the nview driver settings.

Plug it in via DVI to HDMI, if it doesn't automatically set it to your HDTV's native res, set the resolution manually. Then enjoy.
