Of course, but it looks better on my 40" LCD and it sounds better on my 700 watt 7.1 surround sound. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all. |

this crap: But then you don't get to see it on your widescreen HD TV and you can't use your surround sound. According to Hulu, if you pay for Hulu plus ($7.99/month) you CAN watch it on your widescreen with surround sound. Actually, I have an SVGA input on my TV so I can run a cable from the laptop to the TV and watch it on the big screen, but still doesn't allow me to use the surround sound. If I ran a speaker cable from the speaker outputs on the computer I would only get stereo. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all. |

was spent watching the 1990 movie Ski Patrol. Old school hot dog skiing and some pretty cute stunts and a fair amount of what we now call "extreme" skiing, though most was just coming down the hill fast with props. Cute, funny. I noted that Robbie Huntoon was one of the stunt skiers. A hometown boy, I skied with his dad. I note that he is now located in the Truckee area as a real estate agent. His mom was a hospital technician who came to draw blood on a regular basis when I was in the hospital in Rutland in 1967. God, I'm getting old! Age apparently has not granted you wisdom, or balls, or manhood. Must be a drag being the same asshole day after day after day. I spent the evening in Bend visiting with an old friend, we go back twenty years. Currently ensconced in the guest room. Fresh pow at Bachelor tomorrow. I win. |

Geez, I've got an old XP box hooked through my 55 inch high def, sound goes through the stereo. Get hi def, surround sound, all the bells and whistles. If only Hulu actually streamed decent hi-def. Same for Netflix. DVD quality is about the best I ever get. Guess I will just have to actually ski on a great mountain in fresh snow tomorrow. Life is a bitch, and then you post to rsa. |

wrote this crap: Not the same. And the speakers are fixed to the laptop. If you use headphones you're still only going to get stereo, not surround sound. SS is over-rated. That's the stupidest thing you've ever said. I mostly only notice it when something loud behind me startles me. Not something I want to pay extra for. There are real advantages to growing up -- you can use MUCH cheaper stereo equipment. Either you've never heard good Surround Sound, or you don't watch DVDs, or you watch those sappy love movies with no car chases or explosions. Or you need to get your hearing checked. Have you discovered the ASUS OPlay? Nice to have one piece of relatively inexpensive equipment that can find all your AV stuff on all your computers, DVD/CD players, thumbdrives, etc. and play it through your big-screen TV and SS stereo. Never heard of it. I don't need it. My TV has an SVGA port a USB port, and two HDMI ports. My Surround Sound has three AV inputs, a TV input, three HDMI inputs, a USB input, a HDMI output to the TV, an AV output to the TV, and AM/FM. My old SS had only Dolby, Dolby Digital, and DTS. That's why I bought a new one. New Blu-Ray disks have DTS HD which the old one couldn't play. The new one has Dolby, Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS HD, DTS ES, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, NEO:6, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital TrueHD, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, IIx, IIz. And it was only $229 at Wal-Mart. I had to buy two more speakers since this is 7.1 and I had to buy a powered subwoofer since the old one didn't need it. The book says that it will work fine with just two speakers but where's the fun in that? A better interface would definitely be nicer, though. Don't know what you're talking about. It couldn't be easier. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all. |
