I've been reading the wikipedia article on HDMI at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI and been out with my measuring tape :-)

Type A HDMI is the size we're used to seeing with TVs and PS3s
Type B HDMI is even larger and hasn't really been used in consumer goods
Type C HDMI is the smaller 'mini-HDMI' port we've seen on cameras and other
smaller devices. It is larger than the port on the netbook we have.
Type D HDMI is smaller again than Type C. In fact it's smaller than
micro-USB ports, so is smaller than the port on our netbooks.

Our port is just a bit smaller than Type C (approx 9mm to 10.4mm for Type
C), so it's anyone's guess as to what this actually is. Another Chinese port
perhaps? More googling ahead I suspect :-(
