    when I play full screen video in flash from various websites, the aspect ratio seems to be awry. on espn3 and nba LP, the text on the scoreboard looks bad, like there is an aspect ratio issue. i have never had a similar issue on any other computer or laptop. is there a way to force 1:1 pixel mapping or something?

    Right click on the video, select flash settings, and turn hardware acceleration OFF.

    i'm still getting blocky text on the scoreboard. i'm not really sure if it is an espn3 issue or not. i have no problems with offline HD content that I have on my computer
