[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 526840, member: 76888"] 2. HDCP is copy protection. Doesn't have anything to do with resolutions. My understanding is that if you play HDCP copy protected disc and your TV/Video card don't do HDCP then it wont play. I don't use netflix so don't know much about that. 2. I am saying that if you can't play HDCP protected content then installing anydvd may solve this problem. 2. DVD resolution is less than 720P resolution - [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Common_Video_Resolutions_2.svg[/url] NTSC DVD = 720 x 480 PAL DVD = 720 x 576 720P bluray = 1280 x 720 1080P bluray = 1920 x 1080 4. "computer rgb" doesn't really mean anything, they might be refering to VGA port. You should be able to plug that TV into your DVI/HDMI output of your video card. A DVI->HDMI converter plug should only be <$5, and comes free with a lot of video cards. DVI will give slightly better picture cf VGA but they are both good. 4. You don't want to send a 1080i (interlaced) picture from your PC->TV, since your TV and computer both do 1080P (progressive scan) 5. You mention 1080i again, are you talking about 1080i H264 HDTV via a PC TV tuner? If so you need new video card. 5. Going from S-video to VGA or HDMI/DVI will be huge difference 6. For gaming story is different. For gaming I would not choose HD4670. HD4770>HD4670 or something even faster. 7. Mediaportal forum doesn't allow talk of piracy/illegal acts. To backup your own bluray discs you will need bluray drive. It can't be done with a DVD drive. [/QUOTE]
