New HP laptop with blu-ray drive
September 24, 2008
Got myself a new laptop few days ago. HP Pavillion DV6920 with blu-ray drive. Am so far very pleased with it, apart from Windows Vista which is still a let down despite having little expectation after reading rave of poor reviews about the OS. I’m still in the process of getting used to the keyboard, particularly the right-shift-key.
Just tried the blu-ray drive, playing a blu-ray DVD, “Spiderwick Chronicles”, displayed on my HDTV, via HDMI connection. Such refined resolution, and no more blockiness even when watching from close distance. Gosh, I am so going to rent only Blu-ray DVDs from LOVEFiLM from now on

Hello I have the same laptop but it will mot play my blu ray dvd’s on my Samsung HDTV. Did you do anything other than plug in the HDMI lead??

Hi John, did you manage to get your laptop to display anything on your HDTV? If you didn’t perhaps you haven’t set up the vista display settings correctly. What I found quite annoying is that sometimes I have to make my HDTV the main monitor before the laptop will display anything on the HDTV.
