    Very nice, I hope I will be able to get Blueray on my 1722, that is sometime after I actually get one. The one I plan on getting comes with the multidrive, will the bezel from that work with most offbrand BD players.

    Try using the 'vivid' mode (under options) in PDVD. I have a BR drive in my HTPC and I really prefer the vivid mode as it saturates the color a little bit but gives the picture a nice vibrant look.

    I'm using PDVD 7.3 (non-gimped version that plays HDDVD+BR ISO's off the HDD as well ;-)).

    Sound is Very Nice Theater Like Performance with (Dolby Theater Software) (Using Skullcandy HeadPhones)or Speakers

    **Power DVD gives more Options on Sound Vs TotalMedia Theater**


    Im sure the "Original bezel" will match up to any drive that you purchase
    Blu-ray or Non Blu-ray or use your stock bezel "if you don't care about looks"
    **Check out pics for match up (Top Bezel is For MS-1722)(Bottom bezel is Stock bezel came wtih Blu-ray drive)



    "Bank Job" Screen Capture using Power DVD 8.0

    "Sunshine" Screen Capture using Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater
