Hi,
did anybody try to connect a MacBook to an HD ready TV and running an 720p or 1080i movie? Is the MacBook fast enough for this or do I need to go for a MacBook Pro to view HD movies?
Cheers

how come on the apple HD quicktime site it says you need a 128MB video card to playback 1080i? I just ordered a macbook and I hope I can play back 1080i.

Because QuickTime is a pig? Use VLC if QuickTime doesn't work for you.

thats bollox. 720p, and even 1080p, should play fine on the new macbook - with no frame-dropping..

even the low-end 1.83 Ghz MacBook will play 1080p movies without frame-dropping?
