X200 Tablet Performance

[xcaad]

Hi,

Anyone knows the performance of the x200t with HD movies (mkv files for example) in 720p or 1080p? I plan to use the tablet to watch my HD movies on my 47" FullHD TV. Thanks!

Seeing as how the x200t doesn't have enough pixels to play those videos at full resolution, I don't imagine it'd work all that well. That aside, how are you going to output the video to your tv?

[yeah-yeah]

FYI - The video outputs on the x200: VGA on the laptop itself, and DisplayPort on the Ultrabase.

I've watched 1080p .wmv files on my x61t (output to a 37inch HDTV) and it worked beautifully. I'd imagine the x200t would be even better.

Yes, it should work, I'm able to watch 1080i AVCHD movies on my T2010, so it should run perfectly on the X200t.

Is it actually at full resolution on the external screen, and how do you know? It certainly isn't displayed at full res on the x200t screen.

Here are a bunch of HD clips from Microsoft. You could test it out...

I have tested it with 720P media files (1.5GB/hour AVC/AC3 in .mkv container) as well as an extremely high quality 1080P file (Elephant's Dream 850MB for 9 minutes AVC/AC3) and they performed beautifully on my x200 Tablet. I can even achieve smooth playback, and good battery life, with my processor set to the slowest setting (800 MHz per core).

The GMA4500MHD card in the x200 series is capable of hardware acceleration of video decoding. This was done with the aim of playing back Blu-Ray, but it also works perfectly with comparable spec files that you download from the internet. I have tested playback in both Media Player Classic Home Cinema and VLC on both Vista and Ubuntu, both worked fine.

Good choice, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend the LED Frameless 285 nit screen, it is fantastic (good color, great angles, viewable outdoors).
