-=PCTechTalk=- Re: OS install from HP Operating System DVD

Hi Don,
I have been using a Sony Bravia 1080p
as a monitor/TV for the last year and love it.

I bought the LG Super Multi Blue Blue Ray/HD DVD/DVD burner
Blue Ray player
<http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26553&vpn=GGC%2DH20L&manufacture
=LG%20Electronics>

for this computer last spring when I had it assembled at NCIX.com
Only $50 more for them to assemble/build/install the OS 
(Vista home premium) and test it for a week.

The system also plugs into my HDTV Sony Bravia 46" LCD 120hz

I like the Bravia as it has 3 sets of HDMI/Composite/Video inputs as well
as
the computer VGA on the back.

I'm thinking of getting a 40" Bravia for the bedroom to use on my laptop
there.

I think so too.  I'll try it probably Sun or Mon.  It sure would be 
nice if I could slipstream or at least use vLite to "fix" the Vista 
Home Premium Express Upgrade I got for free with my laptop.  A look at 
the directory structure though suggests it is not possible.

 I got one of my new toys today.... a Samsung SyncMaster 23 inch 1080p 
LCD HDTV.  Right now I have my laptop hooked up to it and even using 
an analog VGA cable it is STUNNING.  My desktop has an old GeForce 
FX52000 that does not (apparently) support a 16:9 resolution so I 
didn't even bother hooking it up.  My new desktop should be here 
Tuesday or Wednesday and it will get the new monitor.  Then I'll 
REALLY get to enjoy computing again.  :-))

The regular price for the new toy is $349 at Office Depot.  That is an 
incredible value becuase 1080p is more expensive than 720p and so far 
it is the _only_ TV smaller than a 40" that I have seen that has it. 
Everything else is 720p.  I'll watch a lot movies on this baby!  Has 
anybody used an upconvert DVD player?  What do you think of the 
results?  With all these expensive new toys, I can't have a BlueRay 
player for quite a while.

I gonna have to re-examine my priorities and spend more time exploring 
my computers.  I'm seeing to many "fun" things to do to miss out.

BTW  23 inches is a HUGE screen.  I had contemplated a 26" and am now 
glad I got the 23.
