I want a laptop with a BIG screen
Hi I want to buy a laptop which I can also watch TV and DVDs on, as I will be staying in cramped surroundings so don't have room for a TV. I am not after a laptop which is the best for games, although I will play games occasionally. I won't be moving the laptop much so size/weight is not too much of an issue. Any recommendations?

Hello, sounds like you are after a 17”, 18” or even 20” inch laptop. If you really want a big screen, then I would recommend something like HP's Pavilion HDX18 series. These are big laptops (18 inches!) and have full HD screen (1920x1080) and even have Blu-Ray drives. They are not the fastest laptops around, but if you want something to replace a desktop and be portable and be good for media, they are a great laptop. You can get them quite cheaply on eBay as well. Here are some specs from HP's website:
Touch Pad with dedicated vertical and horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad
18.4-inch Diagonal High Definition HP Ultra Brightview Infinity Display
1920x1080 resolution
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8400 with 3 MB L2 Cache
4096MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive (SATA)
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with up to 2302MB Total Available Graphics Memory with 512MB dedicated
BLU-RAY DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support
Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN
Mind you I have one of these laptops and it is quite large, and also VERY heavy. If you only move it now and then it's ok but I wouldn't want to carry around it with me every day. The base graphics card is not particularly very good (although you can pay to get better upgrades), so you won't be able to run games at the full 1920x1080 resolution, but it is certainly fast enough to watch DVDs and Blu-Ray movies. Hope this helps.
