    I have a 2 weeks old FS115M, with nVidia GeForce Go 6200 128MB.

    The problem: when I play DVDs or DivX the quality is extremly poor. Bright areas get blocky and blinks, the colors seem to be quantified, strips, pixel blocks, etc.

    It's not a problem of codecs (even happens with DVDs!)
    It's not a problem of the divx movies (seen perfect in another computers)
    I don't think it's a problem of the screen, I guess it's the video card (drivers or something).
    Drivers of the video card are updated.
    Advanced configuration of the video card is good, I guess. I've tried different combinations with no results.

    It also happens with high resolution images (8 megapixels) viewed in fullscreen. Plan surfaces appear pixelated.

    Any solution/clue?

    Thanks in advance.
