Comfortable viewing with high resolution LCD, trying Nico Nico video, YouTube, One Seg with "VAIO type P"

I sent you a photo reviewWith Sony's ultra slim and lightweight mobile personal computer "VAIO type P", I checked if I can watch movie sharing services like NicoNico Videos and YouTube comfortably next time.

"VAIO type P" equipped with a display boasting a resolution of 1,600 × 768 overwhelmingly exceeding the 1024 × 600 liquid crystal display equipped with conventional low price mini-note including "EeePC 901" and "Aspire One" But, what kind of benefits can you receive by having greatly improved resolution? In addition, I also checked the one-segment broadcasting reception function that can be installed as an option.

Details are as follows.
"VAIO type P" used for review this time is a model equipped with Atom Z 540 (1.86 GHz) and 120 GB SSD. By the way, because it is not a product version but a prototype machine that you can borrow this time, it seems that there may be cases where the product version and specification may be different.

This is the "VAIO type P" desktop screen. The resolution of 1600 x 768 is not dirty.


I looked at the top page of "Yahoo! JAPAN" in Internet Explorer. Unlike traditional low-cost mini-note that there was sense that vertical resolution was slightly insufficient, enough information amount was displayed.


I saw the top page of YouTube.


I actually played the movie. The volume of the stereo speaker is enough impression. By using the optional noise canceling headphones you can enjoy comfortable viewing.


Since the screen resolution in the horizontal direction is very wide as 1600 pixels, it is also possible to arrange two windows side by side while "seeing".


Next I tried to display the top page of Nico Nico Douga.


I actually played the movie. Like other low-cost mini-notes, playback may be choked in high-definition movies that adopt H.264 codec.


I tried using the one-segment broadcasting reception function. You can watch One Seg broadcast as a Windows Vista gadget.


Of course full screen display is also possible.


Because the resolution of the one-segment broadcasting itself is low, we can not deny the rough feeling of the image somewhat, but it is also available as a large screen mobile TV.


The dramatic improvement in screen resolution compared with conventional low price mini notes also brings great benefits to the use of video sharing sites and regular websites.

Also, in addition to being easy to carry because the body is ultra-thin and lightweight, by installing noise canceling headphones and one-segment broadcast reception function as options, so that movies and one-segment broadcasting can be comfortably viewed on the road Because it will be, it seems that it is a model that can expect an activity in various fields.
