    Just ordered this laptop last night and pretty much maxed out everything in the options.
    I know i can connect it analong, but i got the upgrade NVIDIA 8400 gpu and i heard that it has HDMI output. Should I do HDMI to DVI and connect that way, or does the W2207 have an HDMI input? Any suggestions to get the best quality? Thanks!

    You can buy the cable at Walmart. At least I saw them last night at the Walmart in the small town I live in Yes, HDMI and DVI use compatible video signals, the difference other than connector size is that HDMI supplies video and audio and DVI is only video.
