yes. I have an HDMI output from my LT. All you'll be doing is making the tv turn into a monitor out. If you see it on your screen you'll see it on the TV.

Blu-ray will only play on one screen at a time!
You will have to select the HDTV only, or the laptop display only - can't play on both at the same time!

Yes, it does work quite well!

Sure! No problem!
With most other items, you can display on both displays at the same time if you want.
The protection on Blu-ray doesn't like two displays...
