iTunes warning about 1080p playback Installing and tweaking around some settings on the new version of iTunes 11 today, and when I was messing around in the "Store" settings, I clicked it to prefer 1080p downloads, only to be presented with this error message:



A bit of background on my specs:


Windows 7 Ultimate x64 
Core i7 2600k O.C'd to 4.5 atm, base is about 3.7 
20GB RAM 
Nvidia GTX 580 Ti
Monitor: Acer 24" LCD 60hz @ 1920 x 1080 through DVI
Monitor: Dell 19" LCD 60hz @ 1280 x 1024 through DVI


As you can see, I doubt my computer specs are the issue for 1080p.

Is there an explanation why I would be seeing this error message?
It's a poorly worded message. When I've gotten it in the past (on OS X), it's been when my screen resolution is too small to play 1080p content natively. However if you ignore the warning, it will happily play just fine, but downscaled to fit your screen.
