screen size and resolution?

[jangalang32]

hello, about to be a new mac owner and will probably purchase Mac Mini 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo..i got a couple questions 1st. i was wondering if i hooked this up to my 60 inch HDTV would it fill up the whole screen? also, i think it only gets 720p definition is that right also?


thanks for the help

i will probably only use this for online poker and netflix internet movies which is why i ask the 2 questions

Screen size doesn't matter only resolution. The mini can fill any HDTV screen up to 1920X1080.

It can do up to 1900x1200 I believe, 1920x1080 for HDTV 'cause that's the biggest they get.

EDIT: It will always be full screen.

wow, you guys are fast! this must be a pretty active board. great! i cant wait to get my mini it will fill the screen and it will be 1080p!

how great will it be to get netflix with the instant internet downloads and then watch the movie on the tv!

Just be aware that the mini can sometimes stutter on 1080p from dropped frames depending on how the movie is encoded.
