I am looking to buy a decent laptop for an htpc and basic home pc. I bought an acer es 1 512 c88m and the hd video quality seems blurry and basically not hd. Also, it doesn't expand full screen when I have it hooked to my tv. The max resolution is 1366x768 and i'm not sure of the graphics or processor. Can this pass as an htpc? Are there settings I have to mess with to improve the quality? What's a good cheap laptop that has decent hd? I'm sure one of these $250 and below refurbished ones would cut it. I bought my wife one at walmart for $250 and the hd is very good and full screen on the tv. Thanks.
