The XPS M1530 has an HDMI port, and I have tested it up to full 1080p.

 

 

Thank you,

 

I also wanted to know if I use some of the cheaper models like Inspiron will I still be able to watch movies in HD.  Instead of using HDMI I could use just VGA and stereo RCA for audio.  Do you think it will work ok even with basic Inspiron models?

 

Thank you for your time.

how did you get your xps1530 to output to 1080p?  i tried mine last night with a bluray disc, and the tv said the output was 720p only.

 

also, i'm having trouble getting the audio from the bluray to output to the tv - the sound is still coming through the laptop's speakers.  i've gone into the control panel settings and managed to get the test sounds to work, yet the bluray audio refuses to play through the tv!

 

thanks
