    Hey guys, I've got two quick questions. Ones an issue, ones more of a slight curiosity bordering on issue.

    A, when watching streaming movies on Hulu in full screen, high quality, the video is jerky. I can watch hidef rips just fine, but streaming high quality is very poor. And it's not my connection, as both my desktops and my other laptop (an older M2000) handle it just fine.


    B, and this is more the curiosity factor, my display has a very cool blue tint to it. Coming from off OS X, I'm used to somewhat warmer, more life like colors. Is this an issue with a display, or with Vista? I've tried tweaking color management, but haven't gotten any better results. Any help? Thanks guys.

    A. Could be the codecs if not a connection issue.

    B. Which screen did you purchase? If you got an LED screen that would explain the different color to it.

    That would explain why it looks different than the previous Apple hardware which had CCFLs until the most recent refresh.
