Over the weekend I decided to purchase an episode of Commander and Chief using iTunes.

It was a typically painless process, a few minutes later I had the pilot episode, and after checking it out I went about my weekend activities.

Sunday night, as Amy and I were lounging, playing games and being completely lazy, I remembered the episode was waiting on my powerbook.

Having acquired a sweet DLP projector at Thanksgiving, I decided to hook the powerbook up to the project and see how bad iPod-optimized video looked when blown up to 6 feet across.

After getting the cables hooked up, my powerbook was running s-video to the projector, audio to the stereo system, with iTunes playing the episode in full screen mode.

To my astonishment, it looked awesome!

Definitely not DVD quality.

Considering that video optimized to play on the tiny iPod screen, plays on my wall at the approximate size of a 60” screen is amazing.

Rock on Apple!
