HDMI on Inspiron 1520
I've got an Inspiron 1520 that doesn't have a HDMI output for hooking up to a HDTV. I'd like to add/change the video card to one that would have a HDMI output on it. My question is, is that possible? I've heard of people removing a USB port and using that space for a HDMI. What card should I buy, and is it possible? Thanks for any responses!

The only video cards are the ones Dell shipped with this system - Intel integrated, or nVidia 8400 or 8600. The HDMI would require a new mainboard.
You can see if there are any Express Card HDMI adapters, but if not, you're out of luck.

I noticed that my Inspiron has a 7-pin mini-DIN connector out.... is there a cable that converts that 7-pin mini-DIN connector into a component video cord, or hdmi cord? Also, whats the highest resolution that the 7-pin mini-DIN output can produce? Thanks!
