No Output HDMI connector. PC Video & Audio Input The MA2F chassis models (KDL-40SL140 and KDL-46SL140) have a Personal Computer Input (PC-IN), which connects directly to the PC 15 pin DIN connector (HD15 connector). Once connected the TV functions as a video monitor and audio output (separate Stereo Mini Plug) for the PC.
