Hints and tips to watch a full-screen TV-quality video

Short Version

Connect your Laptop, Nettop or Settop PC to your WideScreen (WS) TV set via HDMI Cable (HDMI/HDMI or HDMI/DVI). Set PC and TV to highest resolution (e.g. 720P or 1080P). Enjoy TV quality streaming videos. Our TV quality streaming video categories are marked as 'WS TV Quality'.

Nettop or Settop PC is a small form factor inexpensive PC that can be kept with your Widescreen TV set (connected via HDMI) to watch Internet videos and Internet (Protocol) TV - IPTV.

(When connected to Widescreen HDTV, right-click on the full-screen-video and select "stretching is fill..." to obtain a full-screen picture with correct aspect ratio.)

Long Version

Unlike most other Internet video sources, videos stored in our servers could automatically adapt to TV quality when full screen mode is selected or the video is scaled-up (subject to original source video quality). Ideally ADSL2+, Cable or High-speed Wireless 3G+ is needed to watch full screen, TV quality videos.

If your Internet speed is low (e.g. ADSL), you may experience interruptions for full-screen (or scaled-up) video. If so, do not select full-screen mode (or scale-down the video). Use Ctrl and centre-mouse-wheel to change video scaling. TV Quality video categories are marked as 'WS(Wide Screen) TV Quality'.

How to improve Full-Screen TV-Quality viewing experience

PC Monitor Cable

It is important to use the right cable to connect the PC to a LCD monitor to exprience high quality full-screen videos. If the monitor and the PC support DVI (Digital Video Interface) and/or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), you should use a DVI Cable or DVI/HDMI Cable. Old VGA cables are not capable of presenting a high quality picture on new wide-screen PC monitors.

Connecting PC/Laptop to TV

(When connected to HDTV, right-click on the full screen video and select "stretching is fill..." to obtain a full-screen picture with correct aspect ratio.)

Your Laptop or PC could work as a set-top-box for you to watch full TV screen Internet videos including Youtube, if your PC/Laptop and the TV set have HDMI or DVI interface. Use HDMI/DVI or HDMI/HDMI cable to connect your Laptop/PC to your wide-screen TV set. Select 1080P, 720P, 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution on your PC/Laptop depending on the capability of the TV set and the Laptop/PC.

Our videos will present a TV quality picture on your wide-screen TV set once your Laptop/PC is connected to the TV through DVI/HDMI or HDMI/HDMI cable. Laptop/PC could be connected to your ADSL2+, Cable or High-speed-wireless(e.g. 3G+ USB) Router through your WiFi(wireless-home-network) or Ethernet Cable.

If you are purchasing a new laptop or PC ensure that it has DVI or HDMI interface so that you could use it as a set-top-box to watch Internet videos.
