This spectacular, monitor will be compatible with Hd videos of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels in resolution which means that users will be able to watch 1080p-quality videos on their Inspiron 545. However, some supreme absences include an Hdtv tuner as well as a Blu-ray player. Nonetheless, users can as a matter of fact upgrade the Inspiron 545 with these add-ons whether through a third-party seller or from the Dell website itself. The Inspiron 545's 300W power supply is more than sufficient to ensure that these upgrades will work without a hitch.
The Inspiron 545 will also come with a 750Gb Sata hard drive that is more than sufficient space to store those Hd movies.
The Performance

Some critics are claiming that one of the weakest elements of the Inspiron 545 is its Intel Gma 3100 graphics processor. Although it is more than capable of handling simpler 3D tasks such as Vista's Aero effects, problems arise when it comes to graphic-intensive 3D games. Nonetheless, the Pcie x16 card slot will supply ample space for users to add a more capable 3D graphics card on the Inspiron 545.
