Excellent!!! I think all ASUS are good I'm a computer geek I think it's the top brand for me and my friends, I recommend it to everyone

Fine. I am using VLC media player on Linux Mint though. Maybe Win8 has higher demands. I haven't tried it.

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

Actually, this particular projector doesn't allow you to download movies. I have a dvd player that I plug up to it. The quality of the picture displayed is excellent no matter the type of dvd player you use. It can be a cheap one or top of the line I've compared them.

Mark, Thanks for your information; I find it very useful. I forgot to mention that my goal is to be able to stream my Net Flix subscription movies via my non-HD TV using a Samsung Blu Ray Player. I am not looking for HD Quality video; Standard DVD quality is good enough for me at this time. I understand that a Roku Player will work too.

Todd H. H. I get excellent streaming quality from Netflix. I use a direct ethernet connection, with ROKU HD. Depends on the movie. Dead Like Me, the movie, had excellent PQ. From what I understand, Netflix has 100,000 titles, and 10,000 are available for streaming. I can get by.

No download necessary. Netflix streams high quality movies directly from the internet. Sure, every title isn't available. You'll still have to wait for the DVD to come in the mail for new releases. The best part is that it is unlimited. No extra charge at all. Unlimited internet access included with the basic $9 membership that still mails you DVDs. It's a tremendous bargain. Of course, they'll start sending me blu-ray discs as soon as I get a player. I've got tons of stuff to watch now while I wait for the right blu ray player to come around.

I don't think its unreliable, this technology has been around for quit a while now...what that being said, you get what you paid for, so if your not looking to buy the latest and greatest, then the best picture/sound quality isn't of your concern. So for the price its a good buy.

I've been able to play movies from the store. As long as your iPod, iPad, or iPhone can play it you are good.

I believe so.... I stream movies through Cinema Now.Streaming might be more dependent upon your internet serve provider.

You usually have an option for streaming, on TV and movies there are SD and HD (720) and some HD (1080) streams to pick from, If your TV will upscale SD and HD (720) to 1080p your good to go.

that depends. you can see or download any video in itunes if you want, and they all have good quality, but apparently you have to pay for that. but if you just want to see online, you just need plug-in component or some free soft ware to watch videos. hope these can help you. ^_^

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

Through a bluray player such as the PlayStation 3, you can view HD Amazon movies. However, the quality is directly dependent on your internet connection and you most likely will not get bluray quality video or audio.

Yes I do. You're able to search from any website. Stream any movie. With no hesitation slowdowns or delays. This computer is capable of doing anything I wanted to do. And with an external hard drive for additional movies and/or music you can't beat it

Image quality is very good, but is directly related to the quality of the source content and source hardware. HD from my laptop is best. Streaming from my iPad sometimes is not full screen, depending on the app I stream from. Overall, very pleased.

Probably, you wcan watch movies from crackle, a free movies app, and they stream just fine
