    I'd like to connect my OCZ Whitebook to a LCD TV (assume the LCD TV has all the latest outputs) to watch 720p/1080p movies through windows media player.

    How do I make this connection?

    I do not have a TV Tuner or S Video output on the NB.

    what connections do you have on your laptop. Do you have HDMI??

    If you don't it may be a bit difficult.

    On your TV, do you have a PC input socket, if so you could connect it as an external monitor from your laptop. The only thing about this option (i think) would be your picture quality.

    I have HDMI on my laptop.

    HDMI cable from laptop to TV will let me use the TV as a monitor?

    Yup. Get a HDMI cable and you should be ready to go.
