That's okay for 720p HD content, but it is a far cry from 1080p "true HD." YouTube, Hulu, and QuickTime HD videos were watchable if a little jerky. Regardless, you won't be able to see the Blu-ray's native 1,920 by 1,080 resolution because the Studio One's screen is limited to 1,366 by 768. The Studio One is available with a Blu-ray drive, but our system didn't come with one. The HP TouchSmart IQ506 with a 22-inch screen, fitted with a faster processor and TV tuner, will cost $1,350 before rebates. To put this in perspective an Apple iMac 20-inch with upgrades to the memory, mouse, and keyboard to match the Studio One will cost $1,349. All of that plus a touch screen equal a price just over $1,100. The system I looked at has a Pentium Dual Core E5200 processor, 4GB of memory, 320GB hard drive, DVD burner, GeForce 9400 graphics and Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The Studio One 19 line can be fitted out with an abundance of options, including Intel Pentium Dual Core to Core 2 Quad processors Nvidia GeForce 9200 or 9400 graphics 320GB to 750GB desktop-class hard drives DVD burner or Blu-ray reader and Vista Home Basic or Premium. Sound from the speakers was nice: the stereo separation of the audio components was some of the best I've heard in an all-in-one. The Studio One is also available in white, without fabric over the speakers. The speakers are covered in a non-removable fabric grill available in four colors: Tuscan Red (like in our test model), Navy Blue, Charcoal, and Powder Pink.
