    Hey!

    I just did a clean Vista install on my AR730E and there seems to be a problem when trying to watch a video. Edges are not smooth, kinda "boxy" and the transition between different shades of same color is terrible. At first I thought it was a codecs problem, but I use VLC player and also installed K-Lite codecs pack and still the same result. After that I tried different graphic card drivers (GeForce 8400M GT) from the latest for this card to the original on Sony support site and a few inbetween, but still the quality of the video seems poor. I didn't install Sony Video Shared Library as it was not in the recomended installs and I've also read that it just helps some Sony programs to read video and pictures, but I'll ask anyway.. Could that be the case?
    Any ideas would help at this point as I'm all out!

    Tnx!

    Correction!
    This only happens when I try to watch a video in full screen or if I try to change its size to larger. In this time I've also installed Sony Video Shared Library and as I thougt it didn't help at all.
    Please anybody with any idea?!
