REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Best laptop under $500 for playing youtube videos on a HDTV?

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a laptop to simply be able to play whatever is on my computer on my 32 inch HDTV 720p. Anything under $500 is what were looking for.

This is a mix between youtube videos, other streaming videos, DVD's and a menu.

So obviously a laptop with an HDMI output, but I'm curious on if graphic cards play large role in getting the best possible image on an HDTV. I know my tv must have 1:1 pixel-mapping mode.

Thanks!
