Almost (does Apple TV count as a "PC"?)

Posted by 4season on July 6, 2008 at 16:06:40:
My new HP notebook has an HD DVD drive in it (that's why it was so cheap) and since I have a number of movies in that format, I hooked it up to the TV via HDMI connector and it worked great in 1080p. But it's a fuss using a notebook in this manner, because the nVidia software + Vista does not seem to remember the video settings for my TV, so every time I want to do that, I have to readjust picture size. I don't know to what extent the HP-supplied QuickPlay software supports the high quality audio. Windows Media Center as supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium does not currently support Blu-Ray at all.

But mostly, I just use the Playstation 3 for Blu-Ray movies and Apple TV for all else. Apple TV has the richest content and it's a joy to use.
