How to improve my dvd image quality

Ive got a II 450mhz computer. At the time, it was top of the line, so the components are pretty good.

Anyhow, as some of you know, my monitor died, and bought a Samsung Syncmaster 191T LCD Monitor. When I surf the net, the picture looks terriffic.

This afternoon, I watched a DVD on the computer. It looked very good, but not great. Would a faster graphics card improve the performance, or is my computer just too slow to show moving pictures optimally?

My husband asked me if he could hook our DVD into the computer. Is it possible? If so, how would you do it, and would it make any difference in the quality of the picture?
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

I'd take a stab at upgrading the video card. You'll probably see a marked improvement for relatively little cost or effort. Don't "overgun" your machine; the really exotic pricey cutting edge video cards probably won't do you much good.
Let me know if your machine supports AGP, or requires a PCI video card (yes, there are two incompatible types ... sorry)
and I can point you toward some choices.

DVD Player to PC is possible, but requires specific supporting hardware. As far as I'm concerned, it would be a "Why bother?".


Cheers;
