Answer by Nicole F
idk

Answer by MR. pimp(hector pimp)
The videos have to be 1080p, If they aren't they will play at a different resolution.

Answer by Kevin M
No you don't have to be at 1900 x 1080 that's the minimum but it will be fine in 1900 x 1200, your player will likely letterbox it (add black bands top & bottom for the extra 120 pixels).

Answer by RJ
it'll be fine either way

The previous article discussed some basic computer definitions. Let's go a bit more in this post for part 2.

Chassis

The chassis is really the shell of a PC which usually does nothing but acts as a cover for the other components (MOBO, CPU, RAM, harddisk etc) inside it. Prices of chassis come a wide range factoring the design, manufacturer and the form factor (full tower, mini tower, small form factor etc) it comes with. My personal favorite chassis maker is Cooler Master.

Graphics Card

Most MOBO makers embed graphics as part of their package to consumers. For graphics designers or hardcore gamers these embedded graphics probably won't serve them well. An addon graphics card probably solves their problem.

Most graphics cards have dedicated built-in memory so the RAM on the CPU doesn't need to work so hard for its buck.

Speeds are measured in Mbs. Top that, some cards come with dual (or even quad) display heads when single screens just isn't enough to fit all applications.

Recent graphics cards utilize the PCI-e (PCI-express) slot from the MOBO. One of the popular graphics card maker is Nvidia. One point to note too - disable the MOBO graphics you are using a separate graphics card.

Sound Cards

With computers doubling up as home entertainment systems, there arises the need for better sound quality. On-board sounds probably won't suit the picky, far less the hardcore gamers. With the combination of good speakers, a sound card can produce quality sound equivalent to some 5.1 systems.

Conventional sound cards occupy the PCI slot (I forgot to mention this in my previous post) on the MOBO and one of the famous maker of sound is Creative.

Speakers

I used to confuse the term of "speakers" with "sound card", thinking that sound comes from the sound card itself.

Well can't blame me cause some computers actually ship with built-in speakers.

Speakers produce sound when connected to the sound card and come in forms of single speaker to complex combination's of 7 speakers and a sub-woofer. Makers include Creative and Altec Lansing.

Monitor

The monitor is not part of the chassis. It connects to the MOBO either via VGA or DVI connectors. Do note that most MOBO built-in graphics come with one conventional VGA port.

With technology advancement, monitors have evolved from the traditional CRT (Cathod Ray Tube) to current popular LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). On the outlook, major differences between the two lies in the size, weight and design with LCD defeating the CRT in terms of smaller form, much lighter weight and fanciful designs. Measurement in inches, defining viewable distance diagonally from top left corner to bottom right. Some makers include Philips, Viewsonic, BenQ, Samsung etc.
