    i finally bought the DP to hdmi cable and automatically when i connect it to my sony s5500 32' hd ready tv it displays my lenovot500 on the lcd.
    now-are there any tips for tv out (with 3650 hd card) ?
    i choose 768X1280 - is that the proper resolution ?

    another questions-
    when i connect my t500 to the lcd - i set the computer only to shut off the screen when closing the lid so i wont have 2 screen running the movie(and wasting battery from the t500)
    but when i close the lid the movie being played is still playing but shifted to the left and leave a margin from the right side of the screen - why does it happen? when the lid is open it doesnt happen.

    another more general question-
    i stream mHD movies to the screen(looks damn good from 2.5 m)
    which usually takes 2.5 giga.
    but if i'll stream like m-720p movies which usually take more like 3.5 giga i will notice the better quality?

    The resolution of your TV is 1366x768.

    no you wont notice the better quality.
    or maybe you will, but only because you know that your computer is working harder. who knows.

    Use Windows Media Center. And always use an outlet when using your laptop in this manner.

    What's the question :confused:
