    Hi,
    I bought the standard xga screen with 128meg video card with my 9300. Wondering if most are using windows media center, dell's media ctr (which is included with standard build), powerdvd6, or windvd6. I ran into issues with powerdvd6 (when testing on sep system xp- sp2 wouldn't start).

    Also, will the new HD videos (you can download trailers for free), play better on this 17" lcd than standard video?

    Thanks.

    I can tell you that HD looks stunning compared to DVD on this screen. I have T2 HD, and I've tried trailers too.
