    Hi all, I decided to ditch my clunky/hot M1530 for the sleeker DV4t with the 30% off coupon! I configured it with the LED screen and free blu ray drive.

    My question is this: What is the quality of blu ray playback like on a 14.1" screen with a 1280 x 720 resolution?

    depends what graphics card is in it. personally i dont feel a 9200m gs is enough. ive got it, and the film stutters at times. im running 1280x800 (i think)

    My friend have a blue ray drive on his dv4t.
    Movies are awesome on his laptop with 9200m GS.
    I personally think 9200m GS is good enough for watching movies.

    btw, Isn't the resolution suppose to be 1280X800 on dv4t?

    LoL, my bad, yes the resolution is 1280 x 800. I personally just went with the 4500 mhd since I don't plan on playing games on my laptop. I read that it plays blu rays great.
