M15X Output to 3DTV - Possible with Dsiplayport?

Hi, I just bought a Alienware M15X from Dell Outlet. I am interested in using it to play 3D Blurays on my Vizio 3DTV.

Obviously the laptop only has the obscure Displyport and not the usual HDMI port I would have expected.

Now I understand that only HDMI 1.4 (and sometimes 1.3) is powerful enough ti run 3D.

I see lots of Displayport to HDMI and Displayport to DVI type cables and adaptors but none of the HDMI cables mention being 1.4 or even 1.3 standard.

Anybody got 3D output to a LCD 3DTV to work? All components (GPU, TV etc) seem to be compatible with Nvidia 3D but don't want to pay out for an HDMI adaptor only for it to be the wrong one.

Help is much appreciated.

Yes it does just tried it with my new m15 ! I had to buy an external blurry drive and that was it I connected it to my acer nvidia 3d ready projector and boom 3d the 460m isn't powerful enough for 3d while gaming unless it's a source engNe game ie metro is a no no but if someone wants to try and get the 560 m gtx to work with m15 then great
