    I just got my Gen 2 WDTV. My question is when setting display resolution in Audio/Video setup menu, should it be set to Auto or what my TV supports (which is 1080p 60hz). I'm thinking it should be Auto because of the different files...avi,mkv etc. I assume the wdtv does not upconvert any video files , or does it ?

    You would suppose Auto makes the player auto-detect the resolution of every file and adjust accordingly, but that is unfortunately not so. Best to set it to your TV's max. resolution. If a video stutters during playback, you can try matching the resolution to the video's and see if that helps.

    Thank you for your reply. I will set to my TV's max which is 1080p 60hz and give it a try.

    Yes, it should upconvert/scale the video, though depending on your model your TV may have a far better scaler built-in. As mentioned above, try to set it to the max. resolution supported by your TV, but if the video stutters, you can try matching the setting to the video's resolution instead and see.
