Laptop prices are getting cheaper and cheaper while the configuration is increasing, which is a factor that motivates the need to enjoy HD movies with many people's laptops. Most laptops available on the market today are capable of playing HD movies well if users know how to make reasonable adjustments. Of course the image is mainly exported to the TV by most laptops today with small screens (averaging 13-17 inches), and most machines have a screen resolution that has not reached Full-HD (1920x1080 ).

Therefore, to be able to play HD movies with the best quality, the laptop must have an HDMI port to output signals to TVs that support Full-HD. HDMI is the most popular and best data transfer standard available today, allowing users to transfer images from laptops to TVs with very good quality, more than via the usual VGA port.

VND 8.7 million has a laptop that supports HDMI

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thuong, in charge of the mobile world of Mobile World, said: 'Most of the laptops currently sold in supermarkets of this system have HDMI ports. Quite a lot of Acer products are fully equipped with HD presentation capabilities but the selling price is only about VND 11 million. Particularly, Acer Aspire 4736Z product (configuration of Dual Dual Core T4400 processor, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, HDMI port) is priced at only 8.7 million (VAT included) '.

Observing in many other supermarkets such as Vien Thong A, Phong Vu, Bach Khoa Computer . all saw many product lines supporting HDMI port displayed on shelves. The popular price of high-configuration notebooks is about 13 million VND. Lenovo has the G460 model (Core i3 350M processor with 2.26GHz speed, 320GB hard drive) selling price of about 12.5 million. Acer also has the Aspire 4741G model, which also uses the Core i3 350M processor, but the price is higher, 13.5 million. HP has a Compaq Presario CQ42 model with a selling price of about 12.5 million VND and a Pavilion dv3 for 13.2 million VND .

Viet Anh - admin of HDVietnam forum - said there are now many people playing HD with laptops. The reason is that 'machine configuration is getting stronger so many users have paid more attention to HD entertainment when buying laptops, not just for work. The most convenient of laptops is portability, so players can watch HD movies right on the computer in places where there is no or can not export images to the TV (in the car, in the bedroom without a TV). .). The current laptop with about VND 11 million is able to show HD movies well. '

Must know the combination

According to Viet Anh, it is hard to show HD movies right on the laptop screen, because the screen of the laptop is too small, while the sound is only 2.0. Viewers will definitely not be able to 'have' when watching HD movies in such a way. Therefore, using a laptop to show HD movies but exporting images to Full-HD screens (currently popular 32 inches) and audio to the speaker system (preferably 5.1) is Selection of many players. HDMI connection cord with cheap price of about VND 60,000 or genuine wire about VND 300,000.

Besides, the storage of HD content is also a concern because most of the current hard drives in laptops have a capacity of only about 500GB. Players can add storage capacity with large capacity removable drives. With about VND 2.2 million, users can choose a 3.5-inch portable drive with a capacity of up to 2TB (2,000GB) or a 2.5-inch type with 640GB capacity. In particular, 2.5 inch type has a compact size, directly connected via USB without separate power plug, very convenient to carry.

Mr. Ha Chi (Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City), an HD movie enthusiast, adds: 'Laptops can only play as a versatile projector. To turn this device into a home entertainment center with the best HD movie presentation capability, users should invest in a Full-HD LCD monitor and 5.1 speaker system to enjoy full HD movies. .
