    I have a relatively new Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and I want to watch Netflix on my TV. I tried to connect the laptop to the TV using the HDMI-to-HDMI cable but I could not find a HDMI port on the laptop. There are ports that look like HDMI but they don't fit right.

    Anyone have any idea what these ports are?

    Great thanks, will try Currys tomorrow.

    Will there be any sound issues with "Display Port" to HDMI?

    It can transmit audio. I haven't used it yet myself, still waiting for delivery of a cheap adapter for the port on my laptop. Don't know if you'll find one in Currys.
