That sounds like one hell of a way to watch a movie. Low or no sound, dark picture....

The dim screen acually isnt too bad, I cranked mine up to full brightness and watched a 2 hour movie, still had about an hour of battery life left.

Ok, I ran my bat down to something like 10% system gave me a warning. I got about 4 hours doing work and surfing the web. Not bad I wonder if the bat needs to be cycled a few times to get a little more out of it???

Any thoughts???

You may want to be careful on cycling the battery. I read somewhere in these forums that cycling it a VERY bad idea ... wonder what Tech Support would say?
