You want the incredible resolution and remarkable sound that high-definition ("hi-def") entertainment products deliver. But you don't want to be left high and dry when it comes to making them work in your home.
That's why HP has introduced a new line-up of hi-def entertainment products aimed at simplifying your hi-def experience. Read on to find out how HP has made it easier than ever for you to feel at home with hi-def as you expand your digital lifestyle.
One look at the HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7600n Series PC and it's clear why hi-def products are becoming more popular in home entertainment.
Delivering six times the resolution of standard DVD, the HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7600n Series PC can take your movie-watching to a whole new level of enjoyment.
With an HD-DVD High-Definition DVD Player,(2) Intel Viiv™ technology and an Intel® Core™ Duo processor(3)(13), along with wireless home networking(4) and 7.1 surround sound, this new Media Center PC can heighten your expectations about what hi-def entertainment offers.
You can also experience the superior picture quality of hi-def movies on a PC with the new external HP High Definition DVD-ROM Drive.(5) Advanced interactivity features let you access the Internet(6) and chat while watching a DVD, or play games that are seamlessly integrated into your movie. Play your regular CDs and DVDs, too.
Today's family doesn't always gather in the same place to enjoy digital entertainment. They want to spread digital content across multiple PCs — from the basement to the bedroom and any room in between.
That's where the HP Media Vault mv2010/mv2020 comes in. With it, each family member can enjoy the same movie, photos, music or video by streaming the file from the Media Vault to different computers or networked TVs throughout your home. With storage capacity that expands up to a staggering 1.2 TB, the Media Vault can store up to 500,000 photos, 16,000 hours of music or 340 hours of video.(7)
HP makes it easy to enjoy digital content on the go with the HP Pavilion dv9000t Series Entertainment Notebook PC. With this new entertainment notebook, you can play games, view photos, listen to music or watch movies.(8)(9) For cinema-quality viewing, the HP Pavilion dv9000t Series Entertainment Notebook PC combines innovative digital entertainment features with the performance of Intel® Core™ 2 Duo mobile technology.(3)(13)
Watch your favorite flick on a 17-inch diagonal high-definition BrightView widescreen display with optional HP Ultra BrightView dual-lamp technology. An integrated HDMI port makes true HD content playback possible. Opt to see that playback on a monitor, or connect with your HD TV at home.
Don't forget to pack your HP Pocket Media Drive. The sleek, ultra-portable, 2.5-inch USB hard drive provides the storage you need to take digital photos, recorded TV programs and even your work presentations with you. Use it with any USB-enabled PC or notebook. It also fits into select HP Pavilion PCs with the exclusive HP Pocket Media Drive bay. The drives are now available with 80GB or 120GB.(10)
Tap into the global positioning system (GPS) on the HP iPAQ rx5000 Travel Companion(11) to get where you're going. It comes pre-installed with TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 software and maps, along with software to simplify your travels and information from weather and traffic to world clocks and points of interest.
Share your music, photos and videos, play games or surf the Web.(12) Take a break to keep tabs on your calendar and your to-do list or stay connected to people and information via Wi-Fi hotspots, Bluetooth™(13) or USB.
Isn't it high time you went hi-def? Let HP turn your hum-drum home entertainment into a hi-def experience that's a feast of sight and sound.
