Expansion cards installed are ATI TVTuner card and ATI HD 2600 XT video card." Though the video card does not have a built-in HDMI port, all ATI HD 2xxx, HD 3xxx, and HD4xxx series cards are capable of HDMI output with audio when you use the correct DVI->HDMI adapter. Here's a link for one for the HD2xxx series: http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3526142 “Funny thing about this is that the brand new XPS 420 does not have an HDMI port.
