I just picked up an HDTV with HDMI connectors and I'm looking for a way to use it as a monitor for my Thinkpad. What choices do I have?

Also, for those that have already tried it, how does the Thinkpad interact with 1366x768 resolution display? I have a FireGl T2 graphics adapter.

Anyone? Port replicator? Mini dock? Dock II?

HDTV connectors on display ?

You can get those cables more cheap from ebay, I just bought 1 DVI to DVI cable.

I should've asked.. which is the cheapest way to get a DVI output from the notebook.

Is there a port replicator for the T42?

Yes. Port replicator works for T series, including mine right now (T40).
