Can I use this PC for downloading content and watching on my 1080TV. If yes is it ready for that out of the box.

Yes you can use it for that but no it is not ready out of the box. It doesn't come with a hard drive or an operating system. It takes a 2.5" laptop style hard drive and I installed an operating system - Linux - via USB.

Yes, I watch movies and TV shows both in 1080p and 720p on this right from my LED 240hrz TV.

Sure you can download files in the PC after you install it an operating system and a hard drive, but I don't know the quality when you try to watch it in your TV. I use mine for recording videos from my security cameras

Yes, it has an HDMI port on the back that can easily output to an HDTV. Just set up the resolution under the Displays Control Panel.

Yes, I just bought a 1080p LED HDTV, 120 Hz refresh rate and use my Zotac Zbox as a media computer. However, no it is not ready for that out of the box on any level. To begin with, the Zbox is not ready for any type of use right out of the box - you still need to buy a hard drive and install an operating system. Then, you may still need to buy connections, such as an HDMI cable to connect to your TV.

This PC can do what you wanted. But when you purchase, PC is not ready "out of the box" You need to install an operating system and necessary applications for what you need.

It has run flawlessly for the past year. I run Linux on a Raid 0 array. I have 2 gig of ram. Netflix, and videos are great even with standard video. Four gig, and a souped up video card would be marvelous. Master Rod

It should have no problem as long as your processor is fast enough, you have enough ram, and your internet connection is fast enough. 1080p is not a problem with this card. I have watched 1080p comedy videos I have purchased online with it. I also have a quad processor and 8 gigs of ram in my media center with a high speed internet connection.

This will do 1080p using the VGA input. We're using it as such now in our church sanctuary.

Yes this PC will easily handle live streaming, remember your router/internet service also plays a role in streaming without buffering. If you can direct connect to your router vs wireless it is even faster. The processor, memory and video are plenty adequate with this PC. We use it for internet gaming with little to no lag.

I suppose it depends on your standards and application that you're running. I am using it for office purposes so spreadsheets, web displays and periodic videos work perfectly fine for me.If your plan is to watch high-definition movies and are picky about it I'd say probably not.

not sure what you are asking here.if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yesdoes it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

It has a 1080 full hd screen with intel HD graphics. Mine has a sweet picture. When watching netflix I can not tell any difference between this and my 1080 big screen tv. I am not a gamer though and do not play any games on this computer.

I use it for streaming at 1080P. I only use it for that nothing else loaded on the system.

This is just a hard drive with streaming service. So it can handle any resolution. I have been able to stream HD video from this drive with no problems

It was meant for media stuff (even has the Media Center button built in near the power button), but last time I tried, I think the super HD videos (like 1080p) do slightly lag, and other resolutions under that should play fine. Also consider the fact that the max memory supported by the motherboard is 2gb.

Thank you for your inquiry. Due to one core processor it's not able to watch streaming videos such as Youtube or Netflix etc.

Get a PC with at least an HDMI connector and an i3 or Processor minimum and youshould be ok with these two as the rest of the hardware should be fast enough HDMI connector is required for streaming to a HDTV via HDMI cable your pc should be able to stream no problem

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

yes. i use it as a both a home theater for movies/ tv shows in 1080p and as a gaming rig. Works like a charm. I haven't overclocked it either

It appears to max at 1900 x 1080. My Lenovo 9704 HTPC is connected via HDMI to my Integra DTR 5.8 and then HDMI to my Panasonic 46" plasma. The picture is gorgeous. Solid 1080p with seamless streaming from most websites. (and with only two megs of system ram)
