I have a Ainol Novo 7 Advanced, which can supposingly play 2160p... and the
only MKV I found at that resolution didn't play. 1080p videos at the
highest bitrate I found play smooth as silk, though.

Probably it's just 1920x2160, that is, 3D 1080p. The player has several
options to handle 3D video, as only showing one of both sides or
interlacing to see with anaglyph glasses..
