    run the ps3? Do you guys have any videos of this being done? I don't own a ps3 but I'm thinking of buying one.

    how would this work exactly?

    Thanks for your help guys

    you'll be hooking up one HDMI-out to another HDMI-out. What do you think is gonna happen if you hook up two faucets with a hose and turn both of them on?

    dang. I was hoping the port wasn't an output. I don't remember even seeing an offer for a bluray player on m1330, don't see why it would have an hdmi output without one.

    How would one use it then?

    uhm... I dunno, hook it to an HDMI-only display? I think like Asus 24" LCD has only HDMI ports :) ANyways, I use it to play back movies on TV, maybe it's not full HD, but it still digital and plays back movies well, esp. if I tweak my nvidia drivers a bit :)

    Maybe it can be use to connect to monitor/TV/projector instead of using DVI port?

    As far as i know notebook HDMI's are only -out

    You need a tv tuner to play something on the notebooks screen
