PS3 vs laptop (Bluray)

[hellomath]

I recently bought a laptop with built-in bluray player.

Laptop is hooked up to a HDTV via HDMI, and the output is 1080p. Everything is working, and the bluray picture quality is DVD-like.

I have seen bluray on PS3, and they are truly stunting.

Any settings on the ATI video card that I can mess around with?

Do you have an HD monitor?

[hellomath]

No, just a 1080p TV.

One thing to mention though this is probably not the case, some bluray discs/players will attempt to detect that all devices and software along the chain (including cables!) are HDCP compliant and if they are not, they will not properly play the video.

I say this is probably not the case because I've heard that the quality would be significantly worse than DVD quality.

Check to see if your TV has overscan and if there is a setting to turn it off.

TV is set to just scan, so TV shouldn't be the reason.

Call Geek Squad.

This seems like a task that would be difficult to fix through a series of message board posts.

How would overscan make a BRD look like a DVD?

I might need someone like The Digitante.

I might be able to figure it by googling/posting on message boards/etc, but I have an exam to sit for. Couple hundred dollars seem like a wash compares to the bonus/raise from getting a ACAS.
