Hi there,

I'm considering getting an asus eee box (the 206 version) for use as a media PC.

My question is, will it play 1080i video smoothly? I'm fairly sure my tv supports it (32" samsung).

And also, would I notice much difference if i settled for 720i?

I've had a look at a few other media devices, but i'd really like a windows based thing, so I can do things like use it as a download box, use bbc iplayer and just play around on the internet. (and maybe even some VERY lights gaming).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
 
Thanks for the replies:). I had heard that it should play 1080, but then I saw some reviews saying it didn't? Confusing, as I won't notice any difference between 1080 and 720 I suppose I'll just get one and see! Will post back when I I've tried it. Thanks again.
Thanks for the replies:)

Have heard that theres gonna be a b208 eee box. With a dualcore and better gpu, anyone heard about this at all? If its out soon then i dont mind waiting really.
