Say you’ve got an aging laptop that would be perfect for playing WoW or Star Trek Online on your television… if only it had HDMI out – that’s where the Atlona AT-HDVieW comes into play.

Running off mere USB power, the Atlona AT-HDVieW takes VGA and 3.5mm audio, combines the signal and outputs it all at 1080P through HDMI. Plus, the scaler/converter communicates with your TV, ensuring the proper output resolution in case 1080P isn’t just right.

The Atlona AT-HDVieW will be available later this month for $US120. In the meantime, those Klingons will need pay for what they’ve done on a 13-inch screen. [Atlona via SlashGear]
