I am a proud owner of Sony VAIO FW21M.

Do you know when the full review will be available ? Thx.

On that size screen I really don’t think you’d notice whether HD content was playing out at native resolution, or scaled.

Yes, most movies are shot at something wider than 16:9 (or 16:10 which most widescreen computer displays use). But TV series will be mainly 16:9.

And what about the missing 320 horizontal pixels? Last time I looked, films didn’t have huge black borders left and right… :-S

Have you ever watched a Blu-ray movie and there was black bars top and bottom?

Why are all of the displays 1600×900? That means that they can’t show any HD format at its native resolution… :-S

I could understand 1920×1080, worse than 1920×1200, but perfect for HD video playback, but 1600×900? Seems to be a bit of a mis-match…
