If you are talking about the right most port in this picture...

Then yes, you can use that. But it is a VGA port, so unless your HDTV takes VGA in, you'll have some fun trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole. You'd need to convert the VGA signal to DVI (or get a port replicator with DVI built in), and then use an DVI->HDMI converter to hook it up to your TV. Doable...if you don't mind buying a few small pieces of hardware.

You could use S-Video, shown to the left of this pic...

But I think the resolution might be limited.

definitely go for the VGA if possible. It has a much higher resolution and will display "full" HD (up to 1080p that is).
