Thanks for your response.  Just want to clarify, you said I can't connect to a game console.  I want to connect it to a laptop.  Still a no? Sorry to ask again but just want to be sure.  I need to connect my work laptop to a 2nd monitor asap...is the issue that I only have an HDMI "outee"?  Thanks again and sorry for 2nd ?...

To clarify, the HDMI-OUT port can't be used to connect a second monitor.
