I did wonder why it wasn't working with the current setup! The display port adaptor I've ordered'll sort it all out.

I do blu-ray.

I still haven't jumped into the streaming bandwagon.
That said I've not yet caught up on all the Marvel films, there's at least half that I've not watched. Weighing up the cost of those on disc Vs what it'd cost to get a streaming subscription for a few months and it's a no brainer.

Ordering the stuff (hdmi converter + hdmi cable) from walmart it was going to be shipped in two separate lots delivered on two separate days spread over the holidays, so I located it in-store at a local pc dealer. Slightly more expensive, a lot less hassle.

Aye, it's still worthwhile browsing the high street.

Still, take a picture and show us what it's like.

Yeah I will when I get it hooked up. The hdmi --> RCA adaptor is really small, like a pack of cigarettes.

No, the cables and adaptors are neatly tucked into a nest of snakes under the tv stand.

As promised, I will post pics whenever the new ones get piled on.
