Most video hardware options now will</span><br><span>handle 1080p and all the non-interlaced formats just fine. But for</span><br><span>1080i HD you need something capable of doing advanced 2x</span><br><span>deinterlacing, and that seems to need more (or better) shaders than</span><br><span>you get in the lowest Nvidia chips. If the main CPU can handle the</span><br><span>deinterlacing, or you can get your TV to do it, then it would work</span><br><span>fine. But an Atom CPU is not that capable.
