THEfrog, it also depends on the encoding, and the bitrate. In theory any computer that is capable of playing mkv or avi files can play 1080p movies IF there is no need for extreme decoding (this would result in a huge file, movie hardly being compressed). So we cant generalize saying 1080p movies can or cant be played without lag. Also the whole thing makes sens only with external display since most of us have res capped at 1280x800. Since my last reply ive also found 1080p movies that ran perfectly, but not all of them. (again its quite codec/player dependant)
