>I am curious about something. I got an email (kind of spam) from CompUSA with an ad for Acer notebook that comes with a BlueRay DVD Player. Aren't Blue Ray DVD supposed to show movies on 1080p type TVs? And I thought that notebook screens (even the best) don't come even close the resolution of 1080p TVs. And if it's true, doesn't it make the BlueRay DVD on a notebook useless? Please correct me if I am wrong.

No, it doesn't make it useless. Usually the video out supports the 1080 p/i standard (1920 x 1080). Most notebook screens can support the 720 p/i standard (1280 x 720), which is still better than normal DVD resolution.
