Solved! Video Card on Notebook

[mrmark27]

I have been checking out notebooks for myself and one thing that I had been thinking about was hooking up my notebook to our 52" lcd tv for watching movies. I have a number of downloaded movies which at least claim to be blu-ray, and when ive streamed them to my ps3 they seem to be close. Most of the notebooks ive been seeing just include the integrated graphics card. Would this be a good enough graphics card for hooking up the notebook through hdmi out connection to TV for my movies?

It depends more on the program you're using to play the movies with, but you should get an entry-level dedicated card in the least.

great, thanks. i was hoping that I would be able to get away with just the basic intel 4500 that seems to be the standard video card. i even saw some notebooks with blu-ray drives and just the intel 4500 so I thought maybe it would be enough, guess not.

the nvidia ion or ati 4650/4670 will be perfect
