Laptop question
I've had some trouble with my laptop and now HP has offered me a replacement laptop:
My laptop Replacement offer This seems like a good upgrade apart from two things Display: goes down from 1650*1080 to 1600*900. I read this is quite common nowadays, apparently we all need 16:9 instead of 16:10. Although I'm losing pixels here this doesn't bother me a lot, I'm thinking less pixels might even mean better performance game wise. HDMI vs DisplayPort Instead of HDMI this laptop has DisplayPort. I had never in my life heard of it but apparently this should become quite common in computer appliances. That's all fine and dandy but I use my laptop to watch movies on my TV as well, and my tv has HDMI and not DisplayPort. There are converters for sale but I;m wondering if anybody can tell me if this will work normally or that this means I'm screwed and need to by a media player or something.
