I have a chance to borrow a Gateway laptop that has a DVD drive in it from work tonite to try out on my X1. What kind of improvement should I expect to get on DVD playback over a cheap Apex DVD player running thru Svideo in? I am in the market for a new computer and am trying to decide if I want to use it for my movie watching on the x1.

mjm,


If it has a decent video card (ATI) and software DVD player, try setting the output resolution to 1024 x 768 and give your favorite movie DVD a spin. I know it's not native, but give it a try and see for yourself. The amount of detail should be mighty impressive.
