Can you play 1080p video flawlessly? How about recording video 720p or above? My old Acer craps out on both.

I don't know what the resolution is, but the play back and the camera are both good quality. I use the camera for Skype and there is seldom pixilation. When I play movies off the net there is no buffering, the only buffering problem occurs when there is a video off yahoo, or msn news.

1080p video playback is great. no annoying pixilation or grainy resolution. 720p recording is not the best but with considered; proper lighting etc the recording quality is also very good. after you are done recording, you are not left wondering, what did I just record? both aspects of the laptop's camera are very good and both get my thumbs up!

The one I just bought does not do either. It's broken and I will return it. I had one previously that I broke, myself, by accident. It did video with audio and still shots. But with these suppliers, it is uncertain what you will actually receive, or if it will work. The first one I bought had higher resolution than was advertised 720p vice 640p, which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy with the first one and will probably send the one back and ask to have it replaced.

It's borderline for 1080p Youtube videos: Some play smoothly while others exhibit dropped frames every two seconds or so. CPU ultilization is never maxed out though. So it seems as though the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor isn't quite up to the task.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

Grab a Blu player , as you'll be fine with the 720p ; no downgrade in PQ as the Blu player will still output to 1080p . Just set the Blu player to 1080p (and 24fps to auto) and enjoy the picture .

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.

yes, 1080p is better than 720p and you will notice a difference even at 20ft away (given the source material/player/source is in 1080p)!

Dear C. B. Huynh,I have the same error. According to this forum here: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic335194.html this is standard since the max resolution is 720 x something.Hope this helps,Thomas

Even from the hard drive I can't play 720p smoothly half the time, let alone 1080p but I bought mine used.

Hi, My particular Acer has a fairly low-resolution webcam built-in, but has more than enough power to use a seperately purchased USB webcam for around $20-$40 from Amazon. Look for one around 1.2 or 3 Megapixels - this will run it fine.

Both audio and video both work well just remember it works best with 720p and under with 1080 video stutters abit

I bought one, never worked in 1080p, 720p. Also had several dead green pixles so I returned it and the second one was worse. Consider another one.

I tried win 7 profession and ubuntu, if the hd video is on the pc them it run fine, but if your streaming it won't play hd video well. I wanted just for streaming video from netflix, abc.com, nbc.com and youtube.com. Other than the OS and the browse there was no other intent purpose for it. if you going to use it for a web server this great but the video card on it is very poor, though, cpu is ok

Hi. Which size of card did you buy? Remember it records at a full 1080P. I bought a 32gig card for this camera, haven't had a problem since.
