I have a 2.3 GHz processor and in the description it says you have to have at least 2.4. Will that matter as far as getting hdtv?

I don't know. I doubt the .1Ghz will make much of a difference for using it on a P-IV, though the description does say core2 duo 1.8G for HDTV. I suspect it will work but not at some of the higher resolutions like 1920x768. I think most of the decoding happens on the device. The extra horsepower may be just for the software that total media software that comes with the device. Again, just a guess. I can't really test it as I'm running it on an i5 processor. Hope that helps!

You shouldn't need to because the Samsung UN55U8550 has a built in upscaler. I watch broadcast television on it at 1080i and it upscales beautifully. I also have my computer connected to it at 1080p for my Steam games and media and they also upscale very well. Wait until blue-ray players support HDMI 2.0 (this TV does) then upgrade your player.

N Singh, or anyone who is technical :) What is the practical significance of it having HDMI 1.2 vs. HDMI 1.3? Am I losing anything with HDMI 1.2?

It's a third gen Intel chip, so it's HD 4000. Please check the official specs before buying.

Yes 3.0 GHz and above is enough for 1920x1080 resolution but remember to pair it with a medium to high end gpu to get the most out of your system.

Yes, this TV supports HDMI 2.0 and I was able to connect a Dell M6800 laptop to it to obtain 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz over displayport and hdmi. Only some of the inputs are be able to display the 3840x2160 @ 60hz video though.

I got settings from tweak tv and c-net forums. The settings from c-net are more accurate for watching HD programming, you should use those.

...a correction. Tuning your tv to channel 3 or 4 is not necessary. You'll just need to select the audio/video input on your tv.

Possibly. If your HDTV has a component video input, then most likely yes. However, you might take a moment and read the other comments about 1080p resolution concerns.

3.4GHz is the highest rate the CPU can reach, generally it runs as 2.4GHz, this is the way it should be.

YES. You need the Slimline Type to Receive HD Channels unless you don't want these type channels.

If it can do 3D then it can also do a minimum of 4k at 30hz. Here is a good chart for comparison of the different versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

Dear Lance,The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution.Eric C

For right now, on HDMI 4K is displayed at 30 HZ and that is a HDMI limitation. HDMI 2.0 fixes that and this set should be upgraded in firmware before 2014. Then it will be 60 HZ and then it's a video card question on how fast it can display 4K.

Get a PC with at least an HDMI connector and an i3 or Processor minimum and you should be ok with these two as the rest of the hardware should be fast enough HDMI connector is required for streaming to a HDTV via HDMI cable your pc should be able to stream no problem
