In with the haul of office clearance stuff I've got to sell or throw away was a 650mhz P3 laptop which I'm hoping to keep for myself (just needs a new battery) and I've been testing video clips on it, importantly my DVD transfer of ANH which for some reason looks incredibly grainy on the laptop's LCD, moreso than on my tv, CRT monitors & LCD projector, I want to put it down to cheap graphics chipset in the laptop but Shrek 2 looks great on the laptop's screen.
I get the feeling LCD screens are very unforgiving with non-DVD sourced video, while watching other stuff in DivX/XviD on the laptop I noticed you could see the compression blocks easily whilst on a normal tv or CRT they look fine, incedentally the 1024 pixel with XviD test clip of ROTJ looks great on the laptop.
