Qosmio F50 HDMI Output Quesztionz

Hey, and thanking in advance for welcoming me This thing is being bugging me for a LONG time. I'm a proud own of Qosmio F50 126 and it has a HDMI output. The thing i'm wondering about it is that like my dad is about to buy 52 monolictic bravia tv. I think it has a sticker on it saying it has full hd 1080p and other goody with HDMI output. I was wondering if i download something 1080p, will i be able to enjoy all the 1080p pixel??? Like, the screen resolution is greater than 1080p or exactly 1080p?? Like the screen wouldn't be streched to the screen actual resolution is for example 1280x800 and the video is either cropped to stretched.. Would i be able to output 1080p with the bravia native screen resolution and enjoy FREAKING PURE HD??? I hope you understand what i mean....ALSO.... does hdmi have some sort of sound system? like would i need to connect somethign to the sound jack or buy something new to support Bravia's crazy soudn system???

 

I have a sony bravia 46" 1080p w5100 and a qosmio x300 which also has an HDMI output.

The TV res is 1920x1080, which is full HD, and the laptop can output that. I downloaded a program called BS player, which plays bluray movies that I have saved on my computer. It looks exactly like my real bluray player.

And yes, an HDMI cord send picture and sound. Change the sound output by right clicking on the speaker in the bottom right, and change the sound output.

Im just wondering what kind of graphics card is in that? The only reason I ask is im just wondering if the card is powerful enough to send out full 1920x1080p resolution.

 

EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOURS... now I'M EXCITED...! I'm wondering that is there much difference if you compare bluray movies and 720p vidoes? Like, are colors much sharper on your TV then on your notebook screen? One more question, is there any difference if you play on different player?

 

My laptop screen is only 1440x900, therefore there is no point in watching bluray movies on my computer, since they are 1920x1080.

Once I hook it up to my TV, the picture looks EXACTLY like my real bluray player. The picture goes right to the edge, and the colours are amazing (with 100,000:1 contrast).

720p doesn't look that special, It just looks like a normal video to me.

But yes, if you have a bluray player in your laptop, you can hook it up to your tv via HDMI and it will play exactly like a real bluray player.

I don't have a bluray player, so i just play bluray's straight from my hard drive.

Download BS player. I tried vlc player to watch bluray movies, but for some reason it lagged. BS player is the best that i've found, and it's free.

Just a side note: I hate blurays that are in any other resolution than 1:78! if its say 2:35 or 2:40, there are big black bars for the widescreen. I didn't mide this on our old crt TV's, but it pisses me off that producers are STILL making movies with big black bars for our widescreen TV's. 1:78 if full screen on our 16:9 TV's, which looks the best.

I CAN'T WAIT to buy avatar on bluray. Im so happy its 1:78 so its the whole screen!

 

Thanks for the advice- going to keep a note of it. Another thing, when your watching bluray movies or doing anything with 1080p screen connected to your notebook, does the nivida pure HD engine do anything? Like, on the website it said that the gpu which support pure HD engine, the gpu itself helps the playback and reduce the load on your cpu. It confusing when you said the 1080p playback on vlc lagged, the only reason could be is because the load was on your cpu when it isn't suppose to be on. I think 9700m gts' GPU is pretty fast to play 1080p isn't it? Is your pureHD engine working? Like for me the cuda hardware accleration which cyberlink has doesn't seem to be working..full cpu load.. 3 percent load on the gpu

Lke the nvidia says that it does have PureHD engine.. here's the link :-

[i can't post links, google 9700m gts and click on nvidia site]

My specs are exactly the same as your except the cpu is faster 2.4 but has a smaller screen 1280x800 and it doesn't have bluray player or anything. Like is said before, the video shouldn't lag on any player cuz isn't the pure hd suppose to put all the load on your gpu?

Also, i recently found this about my external output specs -
max. resolution : 2,048 x 1,536
max. refresh rate : 85 Hz
non-interlaced resolution with max. refresh rate : 1,280 x 1,024

What's does that mean?

 

I don't think it was lagging because of my computer. I think it was a buffering problem in the actual vlc program.

Use BS player, it buffers really well and doesn't lag at all. Its def not from the computer because both cpu and gpu are no where near load.

I just think vlc has a problem with playing bluray movies, though i could try it again since im using windows 7.

As for your maximum outputs, your laptop can output a max resolution and refresh rate of 2048x1536 and 80Hz.

Thats ok, because the TV's max res is only 1920x1080. The refresh rate on the TV is 120Hz, but it doesn't really matter.

I don't know what that last thing means, but you will be able to play all blurays on your tv with your laptop.

 

Hey, btw, have you tried running cyberlink powerdvd with the purevideo HD? it suppose to lower the burden on your cpu and put the load on your gpu, meaning smoother play and crazy image quality. Do check it out. I'm happy i can play full hd 1080p
