plenty of graphics cards have HDMI outputs (in addition to the normal DVI
and VGA) so thats not the problem.
since you say you don't play games and want it for movies (Blu-Ray?) then I
would suggest a low profile card with a passive heatsink since Dells often
have very compact cases with little room and you want it quiet for watching
films. such a card would also have low power requirements which would go
well with a Dell.
