    I'll start first by saying that I tested a 1080p file through VLC and received heavy stutter. I'm using an HDMI to output the video to the 1080p compatible HDTV. I've done a few searches an encountered a decision between installing codecs or installing (a driver?) that allows 1080p to run using GPU. Honestly, I have no clue how that effects the laptop or where to start, therefore any help is welcomed!

    -Trying to do
    --play 1080p

    -Need help
    --where to go to download proper files to allow?
    --which of those files to download?

    Thanks guys!

    vlc is what I tried initially but gave the stutter. I'll be testing WPC in a bit with those codecs.

    Weird, all I've done is install CCCP and I haven't had any issues with 1080p video.

    I'll vouch for this method, had the same problem with stuttering and followed the instructions on this site, Haven't had a problem with 1080p files since then, and was still on integrated graphics.

    Does the fact that the m11x display is only 720p effect it outputting to 1080p.

    11.6-in WHD1366x768(720p)

    I'm a complete noob, just learning.

    The 335GT will display content as 1080p on a HDTV that is rated 1080p. My first-gen M11X displayed beautiful 1080p content on my 32" LG 1080p HDTV.
