Review by Reuben Gathright

Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 Ultra is a great video playback product. The installation is rather straightforward but you will need to connect your laptop or PC to the internet to activate the license key. After installation, all compatible video formats and DVD or Blu-Ray discs will be automatically opened in this software. You can configure options like color, sound and 3D visual effects to dramatically improve the visual experience. I use a Sony VAIO Intel i7 laptop with an NVIDIA mobile graphics card through an HDMI cable connected to a Samsung 63 plasma television to watch my movies. You will discover early on that this software effectively uses your streaming cores to enhance playback.

I have used the PowerDVD product line for over 5 years now and feel that Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 Ultra is the best one yet. The playback of Blu-Ray movies is now flawless on my Samsung 63 television over HDMI and the program interface is much improved. You should consider this product first before any others if you want it to playback movies on your laptop or home computer.
