Does it play 1080p without stutter? Does it play via hardware decoded or software?

I run Linux with VLC which supports only the older MMX style acceleration, not the newer GPU style acceleration, so it needs more CPU power for smooth playback, and this motherboard has the extra CPU horsepower needed to work quite nicely. It plays 1080 very cleanly with no stutter whatsoever at about 50% to 60% CPU utilization under VLC in Linux. In Windows 7 or Windows 8 with the MS Media Player or MPC (Media Player Classic) you should get full GPU acceleration with much lower CPU loads (10% to 15% or even lower). I can't verify those Windows numbers for certain (since am currently only running Linux in this machine) but that's what I see on my Laptop under Win7 with a similar Intel CPU and GPU Chipset. One reason folks like the newer GPU based drivers is that shifting Video decoding to the GPU reduces the CPU load and helps the machine run cooler and use less power during video playback, but with this board that's not as big of concern because the power spec for the Intel 1037U CPU is only 17 Watts TDP, which keeps the power consumption very low during video decoding whether it's being done by the GPU or CPU. So this motherboard should work GREAT in both Linux with CPU based 1080 decoding, and in Windows with GPU based decoding (just as long as you make sure that your hard drive is up to streaming HD video without hicups).

Has anyone heard of a firmware update to cure the video "blanking out" and then coming back when using 480 input and upconverting to 1080 via hdmi cable?

I do not have a blu-ray player so I'm not sure it will play 1080P, but it is supposed to play in 1080P format. Also, unless you buy pap-per-view (which I have not), all tv is in 720P format. I will say that I love this projector. I will never buy another flat-screen tv again. Well worth the money. Thanks.

It's full HD. I use the max 1080p resolution which I think is something like 1920Ã-1080

Turn off all video acceleration in xbmc. You do not need it to play 1080. Picture always looks better with it turned off. People see hardware acceleration and feel they must turn it on. Turn off and problems go away.

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

It works better with mp4, bitrate depends on your quality preferences 1080 is best

I had a similar experience which I stated in my review a while ago. It looks like this card is somehow limited to low frame rates at 1080p with major problems @60Hz.

Yes It will Stream 1080p HD and Play 1080p Files. I play HD Videos on this Laptop all the Time especially when I plug it up to The Television through The HDMI. It Has a 1GB ATI Radeon Buit in Graphics Card also Great for Medium Gaming if that helps too.

Probably, for playback. Gaming - ?? Here's an explanation. http://geeknizer.com/1080p-minimum-requirements/

To the best of my knowledge the highest resolution is 1440x1080p which when played back is reported as 1920x1080p. It's not true 1080p but it's better than 720p and honestly it looks pretty damn good, with decent lighting of course.

It plays XVid just fine...DivX Ultra rocks, I've only had a couple files not run correctly...

I can't vouch for Win7 performance, but run Win 8 off of it connected to my TV via HDMI with no issues (movies, music, streaming, etc). Audio also works over HDMI.

So 720p on youtube and other engines plays perfectly with no lag. When playing 1080p on youtube, which they now have, seems to lag a bit, but easily fixed. There is a new beta version for flash player 10, it's 10.1. Once downloaded, the computer seems to be a entertainment powerhouse. It takes the consumption off the processor and puts it on the GPU, and then runs so smooth. Use the hdmi port for your 1080p tv and it looks amazing. Hope this helps.

I did play a game through the 360 game system and did not see any lag or skipping of the video. Everything appeared to be normal. (I guess the fps that your talking about is the frames per second.)

It says it is 1080, It has 2 HDMI inputs. I have it connected by HDMI but not to HD, so I cannot say for sure. There are RCA outputs for external speakers and you can shut internal speakers off in the menu.

Does it stream in HD because it seems to be in low quality video playback. .
