The standard porn viewer will not have the hardware power to even view them well in my oppinion, at least not 1080p ones.

1080p is 1920x1080 resolution, who even has that big of a screen?! Almost noone does.

Its a nice gimmick, but full 1080p is just for a very few porn surfers and by far not the majority.
I don't think full hd is for people who watch porn thru their computer monitor, but rather those who have windows media centers, or linux mediacenters. There's a lot of articles in finnish magazines atleast, comparisons and tests of the systems. In august 2007 analog tv-transmissions will end in finland, and people hate 100000 remotes.. So they want an all-in-one system with digital decoder, dvd-player, (internet connection), 'Tivo' and such. I think 1980x1080 resolution videos are more for people who watch it on their tv rather than monitor. Also the HD-dvd/blueray will make it possible to use the same content as HDTV hard-copies.

But if you don't believe that'll happen, feel free to stick to your compressed 240x180 real-media files.
