That's funny. Yesterday I got myself a Displayport to HDMI adaptor to connect my Thinkpad X200 to my LCD TV. It works very good, but on this notebook audio support via DP/HDMI is not supported, so 5 minutes before I read your mail I was looking for a USB to HDMI adaptor. ;-) It turned out that Full HD is too much for a USB 2.0 port, so to achieve it, the picture is compressed first and displayed in a worse quality on the TV screen. But it should be better with USB 3.0.
