It also has another output labelled expansion port 2 (note this is not the pcmcia slot) which i am not familiar with. i take it it is for a printer etc although it is much thinner than the usual parallel port etc.
If it has 9 pins, it's probably a COM port, COM 2 to be more precise. This is a serial port and used for serial mice, modems, and other devices like that.

One more thing, i have noticed some of the top models have the new technology hdmi input for up and coming technology. these however are the more expensive sets (mostly out of my price range). I was just wondering if, considering i plan to have this tv for a long time, i am not doing myself any favours by not including inputs for new technology. or is this something that will slowly be phased in and as such is not that important unless i am some big movie buff that will do anything for the perfect picture quality?
yep indeed, very expensive and not much use at the moment as there is not much equipment which already use that standard. And the equipment which does is equaly expensive. In practice it is indeed something for the big movie buff (for now)...
