Not sure you can get Vudu HD/HDX on a PC. Netflix also used to have smaller selection of titles in HD on PC vs the other players.


You probably need to decide which services you want - Vudu/Netflix etc and then find the player - Roku, Boxee, Apple TV, various Blu-ray players that suits you.


I think of a display like a PC monitor - get the best quality you can afford.


You can always change the sources you use - Cable, satellite, internet, over the air - depending what suits you best at the time - but you'll always need a good display.

Thanks guys! Interesting that each connection option received a vote! Clearly, I do need to do some more research. Hat tip to undecided. You are correct, VUDU is only SD when downloaded to the pc. Hmmm, I'll need to see how badly I want VUDU. It does seem desirable with newer video set and different lineup than netflix. Your point is also well taken in regards to the display versus providers.


Servicetech571, interesting point about software. I've only played MP4 and AVCHD files on my computer. I clearly need to do some reading here as well.


Thanks again!
