My son-in-law just purchased a notebook that plays HD DVDs and has an HDMI port. Can an HD DVD be viewed on an HD TV by just connecting a cable or is there other hardware/software needed? Thank You!

You will need the player software that came on the notebook as well to actually play the disc (same as you would if it was a dvd player). But the cable is all you need to get audio and video out.

Check out monoprice for the HDMI cable (link at top).


If you try to buy an HDMI cable locally you will pay way too much.

You just need an HDMI cable from the laptop to the display ...I have the BR Sony Vaio laptop. From that point just follow directions in your laptop manual.
