    You are absolutely correct - if the laptop has a blu-ray drive, the poster could use HMDI-out to connect it to his TV and watch it in HD. Loads of people do this rather than buy stand-alone blu-ray players.

    I was just assuming because the poster said 'DVD' that they meant DVD and not Blu-ray.

    Either of use could be wrong! ;)

    well

    TV is a 1080p panasonic
    and my laptop..dell with vista

    connecting the HMDI cable and configuring the audio devices appropriately the following happens

    if I play music from my laptop HD it plays OK on the TV

    if I play a video from my laptop HD then both sound and vision work OK

    but if I play a DVD on my laptop then the vision works Ok but no sound.


    any ideas?

    This sounds a pretty similar problem.
