Screen refresh rates maybe? I'm downunder and initially had some 
problems getting the picture to fill the screen on our LG 42" 1080p LCD 
screen.

I'm in Australia where we use PAL at 25 frames ps. The nvidia card's 
output that worked best is 1980 X 1080 at 75hz, ie the refresh rate 
being a multiple of the 25 ps.

de-interlacing still leaves me disappointed so for fast action sports we 
switch the LCD's inbuilt tuner.

I've had no luck getting the internal player to work with video DVDs, 
protected or otherwise. libcss etc is installed. Like the other poster I 
settled for mplayer.
