HDMI quality is identical to DVI - they contain exactly the same video stream. HDMI carries audio as well, so is more convenient of course. But if you have a DVI output on your computer, the quality is the same as HDMI. If your TV only has HDMI inputs you can get a DVI-HDMI cable for less than 20 bucks.

The Vaio's are certainly the Rolls Royce of Windows laptops, they're great. And Blu-Ray on board is a significant competition factor for similarly priced competitors like Mac Book Pros.

To Telstra: the only time my Mac Book Pro is turned off is when the system restarts after a major update - otherwise, I never shut it down. Win XP may exhibit some resources issues after a long time on, requiring a restart. But if you're running Mac OS, Vista or Linux you shouldn't ever need to shut down.
 
I bet no one will have any of the problems with their $3000 Vaio TT that I have with my $500 Asus EEE :cry:

^ I suppose then the quality 'perceived' so to speak is also dependent on the TV you're hooked up to?

Definitely. Most important thing is the native resolution of the TV, and whether the display card of your computer can match it accurately. Many plasmas & LCD TVs have unusual native resolutions, which display cards don't always support pixel-for-pixel. TVs that support true 1080 line resolution are the best there is, and its a bit of a standard for display card drivers as well.

You don't realise how amazing DVI and HDMI are until you use analog VGA for something, and realize how awful the pictures we looked at a few years ago really were! :-)
 
^ I hear ya! I've had that discussion many times myself. The whole HD labeling system is VERY misleading.
 
My parents bought an "HD ready" Sony Wega about 6 years ago. They just bought a Samsung 720p plasma with 1,00,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and finally got HD programing from the cable company. They only got the 720p on because the 1080 version cost 50% more and cable HD will still be 720 at the most for several years to come where they live. For some reason, the six year old Sony has a much higher picture quality than the Samsung. Is it because of the brand? Aren't Samsungs supposed to be pretty good? Could it be because the Sony is a tube tv??? Why do I feel so old not being able to keep up with all these newfangled techno-gadgets??
