Blu-Ray on LED VS 1920X1200 Screen

How much better would blur ray look on the 1920X1200 screen compared to the LED screen on the XPS 1530?

 

If it was me, what I would do would be just get the LED screen and then when I was playing a blue ray just use the HDMI output to display it on an HDTV.

 

I watched Jumper Bluray and Side by side the LED Vs. My fathers 42in 1080p Vaio (using hdmi both forced to 720p) the LED had more color vibrance and depth. My father wasnt too happy about my laptop looking better than his TV.

 

In my experience a 15" display capable of 720p will always look better than a 42" at even 1080p... because the display and the pixels are smaller.

Further, the LED backlight definitely is better than the typical flourescent tubes. Rear projection TV's IMHO still offer the best video quality in large screens. (my 65" mitsu rear projection has a better picture at 1080p than I could ever imagine) -- However, OLED technology should provide the best picture at large sizes.

Regarding the original question, no idea, I would imagine the difference would be negligible as far as resolution, however the LED should be brighter with higher contrast ratios.

 

Also if you are thinking of playing games ... they will run ALOT slower at 1900 x 1200 than they will at 1400 x 900 ... just an extra thought.

 

Ya, I don't think I will be gaming much, but if I did, I would run the games at a lower resolution, so performance shouldn't suffer. Also, I like the larger screen space on the higher res screens, wish dell didn't get rid of the screen that falls in between these 2 screen resolutions.

I am also unsure if I want to buy a laptop with a 8600GT due to the new 9 series coming out and the published 8 series defects. I have been looking at some 15" laptops with the 9700 gt and gts in them and they look promissing, I don't think I want to pay the super high prices once the refreshed 1530's first roll out. SO I should really make a decision soon, before the new 1530's roll out and the prices increase.

 

Well I did a little bit of research on mine and the Dell 8600m GT comes with GDDR3 instead of the normal GDDR2. This actually outperforms the 9600 series cards with GDDR2 in them or is about equal in performance. So really there isn't a whole lot to be waiting for ... the 8600m GT is still a nice card.

 

Hi if it is

I offen use http://www.notebookcheck.net
to check out if they have a benchmark of the gpu

After what I can see, the 9600 gt is 1/3 better then the 8600 gt gpu

I hope this can help you out
