Hopefully this won't get moved to a tech forum that nobody reads lol!
So what am I doing wrong. I download only HD content. Have a great laptop and a 46in high def flat screen tv. But when I hdmi cable the laptop to the tv. Attempting to make the tv like a giant monitor it loses it's crisp edge and I wind up watching more of the action from my laptop screen than my tv.
Any tips?

It belongs in Tech Talk, which people do read. Please don't post threads in the wrong forum because you believe that more people read that forum.

After you connect the HDMI cable, check the resolution that it's outputting at. It's possible that your laptop may be sending something like a 720p signal instead of a 1080p one.

^Yep it's resolution.
Check the manual for your TV to see what HDMI resolution(s) it supports. Check your pc video card properties to see what external video resolution(s) it supports. Choose the maximum resolution your PC can output, which your TV can support.
Or try this: Leave the PC powered off until after you have powered on the TV and selected HDMI input. Then power up the PC. Some systems seem to automatically get things right when using this sequence.

^ Yeah, a media player hooked up to the TV is a much more elegant solution than going through all the rigmarole of hooking and unhooking up your laptop, messing around with the video output settings, and then having to get up and mess around with video player on your laptop every time you want to fast-forward or something. I have a Western Digital Media Player. I just plug in my external hard drive with all my video files on it and then go to town. It has a remote.
