I have read the "what group are you in" suggestions in Eskro's wonderful thread. However I feel like I fall into a different group. Here is what I am looking for...
* 720p HDTV possess HDMI ports
* wants to play SD movies (DivX, XviD)
* wants to play DVD movies - really not that important
* wants to play 720P movies
* wants to run an image intensive skin and it to be snappy as shit
* wants to stream 1080p and 720p movies from NAS to xbmc rig and play in 720p with no jerky shit.
* wants decent sound output, nothing crazy, but I'd like RCA outputs because I'm running the sound to my stereo receiver not my TV thru HDMI.
I have a TV that is 720p. I have a tons of movies on a NAS half are in 720p and half are 1080p.
1. Will an xbmc rig play a 1080p movie on a 720p TV?
2. If so, does the picture look worse than if it was playing the same movie in 720p?
3. Does an xbmc rig have to work harder to play a 1080p movie on a 720p resolution TV?
