Hi, I just got my first and new mac- The Aluminum 24" iMac
and I would like to know if i can play 1080p video content?
and if i can does Perian codec enabels mkv files so after that im ready to enjoy FHD?

Tnx, Leor
 
Technically, yes. The current 24" iMac is 1920x1200 native, so should be able to view full 1080p (1920x1080) material without downscaling.
 
I think the OP was questioning the processing power of viewing 1080p compressed footage. Which yes, the 24" imac should be able to do.

download a 1080p trailer and watch it. If it doesn't drop frames, then you're good to go.
 
As tested last year, white iMac 2.16 was able to play a few 1080 trailers concurrently (it was 3 or 4 at the same time), without stuttering.

Translation, more than enough power to play a few streams of 1080, yes it'll work for 1 1080p video.

see -- you don't have to take the word of ~Shard~'s, alphaod, or mine advice -- it's empirical

how are you bringing the content in anyway?

trailers? It certainly isn't DVD since the DVD drives are not Blue-Ray or HD-DVD

Slingbox? or some other device?
