Does any of the current line of laptops offer DVI so I can connect to a LCD / Plasma screen ?

Does any of the current line of laptops offer DVI so I can connect to a LCD / Plasma screen ? Ive been looking around but can't seem to find hte answer. I know they all come standard with VGA but it's not a clear enough signal.

Thanks in advance!

No the last 2 laptops with DVI were the E1705 and XPS M1710.

Wow that's surprising. I use my 9300 with a 1905 FP via DVI most days. I wonder why they got rid of it.

They added HDMI ports instead and did away with the video cards,video is soldered to the motherboard now.

Ok I found a little about HDMI
 
 
 
It sounds like those of us with DVI screens can simply buy a HDMI-to-DVI adapter for use with Dell w/HDMI computers?

The XPS 1710 and 1730 have DVI, and others probably do too.

HDMI is pretty much DVI with a new connector and audio support, so an HDMI -> DVI cable is supposed to work fine too.

I happen to have the XPS1730 with DVI output, does anyone happen to know the part number for the Multimedia Cable Kit
Multimedia kit includes a component video and SPDIF adapter, a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, and a DVI-to-VGA adapter
Product Code       SKU      Id
    MMCBL      [310-9519]   20

I have contacted sales but they don't know what I mean.

 

By the way the XPS 1730, Awesome!
