A Question about Video/Movies...

You should be able to output to either an HD tv or a monitor. If your monitor doesn't have an HDMI input you could purchase a HDMI to DVI converter, which are quite inexpensive as they are both digital signals.

The only problem with that is DVI doesn't support audio just video.

Doh. I wonder if you can still get audio out of the headphone jack if you use the converter.

Bundo, HDMI to DVI converters are cheap because they are both digital. The expensive ones are the HDMI to Composite or Component because they need to convert from digital to analog.

I see. Not sure if most of my stuff isn't analog. Well, I have one with HDMI

Out of 20 +/- Tv's and old monitors I have around here, only 1 has HDMI input. I thought the convertors were quite expensive, like $200? But I think you are right, anything from the Gallery should output correctly, even from a standard DVD, right?
