So I bought a HP Chromebook.....

@Minion-Queen Dominica can test that for you too.

Everything I am seeing also says not 1080p or HD compatible is this right?

That depends in the specific model not ChromeOS itself.

@Bill-Kindle can you watch movies from Amazon on it? My desktop hooked to my tv in my livingroom bit the dust. Looking at possibly putting in a Chrome Box.
In theory you should be able to, but I haven't tried because I have a feeling that Flash will haunt and not allow it to play nice. I might try it later and let you know for sure.

The model of HP I have does this with HDMI out. I play HD videos from youtube all day.

why wouldn't you use chromecast?

Chromecast is Android. Chromebox is ChromeOS. So one acts like an embedded system and one acts mostly like a full OS. So different use cases.

I thought we were simply talking about hooking a Chromebook to a TV to watch videos? Why connect your Chromebook directly instead of using a ChromeCast? or a Chromebox?

You can cast from Chrome, there's an extension for it. But you also have HDMI out on the HP 14" model and most other Chromebooks.

Chromebox is just a desktop form factor Chromebook.
