HP 2133 gets new lease on life

The HP 2133 Mini-note was a major design coupe for VIA, being a big brand name manufacturer. It was also one of the first netbooks with a high res screen. If you bought one, you may look back on your purchase now with a tinge of regret because unlike many newer netbooks, the HP 2133 Mini-note can only manage 480p. Well, here's a fix, a way to boost the HD resolution by installing a Braodcomm Crystal HD Enhanced Media Accelorator.
"With the Broadcom card installed, he was able to watch 720p and 1080p video on his netbook. It’s also worth pointing out that the HP 2133 was one of the first netbooks with a high resolution display to hit the streets. It has an 8.9 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel screen.
He even found that he could play Blu-Ray video as long as he paused for a few seconds to let the video buffer first." - Liliputing.com
