    Hi,

    I notice (or maybe it's in my head) that if i view a 1080p/720p film on my media player connected to my TV the quality is perfect, if I view the same
    film on my laptop connected to same TV (via HDMI) the quality perhaps is not as good ...

    Is this because the TV will just replicate the resolution of the laptop ?

    it's a 40" TV, but surely 1080p should be always 1080p regardless of screensize ?

    Media players tend to have separate processors/chips for upscaling etc. Whereas ATI or Nvidia graphics cards have both chips and dedicated software coding Intel cards may not.
    Whats the graphics card on your laptop?
