DVD or laptop to use the net with a TV?

Awe-d-o-file

I found a nice cheap; all region blu ray with a web browser not just apps. I'd like to watch YT videos but want to be able to choose the resolution/sound quality. I've never seen a YT app from Apple TV or any DVD player that allows you to change this. I started reading what little info there is on DVD players with a web browser and it looks like those don't support flash and I have no idea how much control these(pseudo) browsers do or do not have. I'm thinking I should just get a laptop w/HDMI and a wireless keyboard. Sit in the chaor with the keyboard while the laptop is at the TV. I'm not thrilled about using the DVD interface where you choose one letter/character at a time anyway. So any thoughts on this are welcome.

I'm using a 15ft HDMI cable connected from laptop to an unused HDMI port - Road Warrior 16:49:38 02/09/15 (0)
on the home theater receiver. No problem. I keep the laptop curled up in the entertainment cabinet when not in use. Mrs. Nasty for some reason doesn't like that cable stretching across the media room floor when not in use.

changing youtube resolution, get a laptop. Seems like you need to customize settings, laptop/desktop with HDMI should be ok.
