Thanks for the info. Does the movie cover all of the screen or is it very narrow with a lot of black on the top or bottom? When I hook up my laptop the movie is very skinny and I prefer the whole screen being used.

I am hesitant to buy the Blue-Ray because Netflix is going to have all of their movies streaming within the next two years and I see the $$$ spent on BR as money down the tube.

The laptop can be used on its own to watch the movies, but it simply doesn't work when putting the movie on the TV even though the movie will run for a while and then shut down. The computer was plugged in the wall, so it is just fluky I guess.
