Hey,
I recently bought a new TV because I wanted to upgrade from a 720p 32" to a sony EX620 1080p 40".
My problem is this. I'm running XBMC on a late 2008 MBP (2.53 Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR3 Ram, nvida 9400M GT). When I watch anything on the TV set to 1080p the video lags or skips every second or two. almost like it's dropping a frame or two. As soon as I switch the external monitor resolution to 720p this issue disappears.
I'm wondering if anyone with a similar set up has this problem. If so is there a solution to this or is my only solution an upgrade?
I should mention that I'm running 10.6.8. I'm hooked up to the tv through the display port to HDMI and optical audio out and the MBP is in "high performance". Also I have tried the same video with VLC on the TV at 1080p and the problem still exists. The problem does not exist on the MBP monitor or when I watch the same video on my blu-ray on the TV.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the block of text.
