When I talk about 1080p playback I refer to actually playing back 1080p content as is, not 1080p content converted to 720p content. That would be 720p playback. Going by what you say we could even play 1080p content on an Efika 5200B, namely by converting it to 360p beforehand ;-)

I think that computer screens with resolutions of 1920x1080 or more are very common these days. Unfortunately, I still have 1680x1050 ;-)
