SX40 HS with AVC-DC400 + liveview

Snagged a SX40 HS from amazon for $250 or month or two ago and now I'm looking into setting it up for my dad.

He has a 46" HDTV next to the window he shoots pictures of birds from so I figured the SX40 with the HDMI cable would give him a great "live view" display for getting his bird pictures.

I thought wrong. I guess the HDMI cable is good only for play back. Live view is only available with the standard definition AVC-DC400 cable.

Is anyone using the AVC-DC400 with liveview with the SX40 HS? Is it worth the trouble or is the resolution so bad it's useless?

Thanks!
