Outputting HD Video from an e1505

Hi all,

Here's the skinny. I have a dual core e1505 at 2.0 ghz which plays most HD files (mainly xvids encoded at 720 or 1080) quite well.

I've gotten a new HD TV for Rosh Hashana , and I want to output an HD signal out of my e1505 so that I can see my movies on TV.

My only "video out" option on the laptop is S-Video, which can't output HD.

My graphic card is the integrated solution, not some nice GeForce or anything like that. Serves me right for buying the laptop the day it became available...

Anyway, I'm assuming that the only way I can do this is to stick a video card in my ExpressCard slot, which is currently empty, or find some "external USB card", if something like that even exists. I've looked around the net, but can't see anything specifically designed for this.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

P.S. I forgot to mention: my TV will accept component HD or HDMI. It has a USB entrance too for some reason, but I doubt I can use that...

Of course... Should have realized that myself. Thanks!
