Is the HDMI input really limited to a lower resolution ? thanks :-)

According to the manual, page 52, the photos show that only the DVI and DisplayPort inputs allow for an Optimal Mode 2650 x 1440 resolution. The HDMI photo shows an Optimal Mode of 1920 x 1080. That seems to jibe with what I've read elsewhere. You can download the manual from Samsung's site (under Support). I'm using the DVI input at the full 2560 x 1440. Hope this helps!

the resolution is a vga but when you connect it to the hdtv it will upscale the video to 1080i, I don't think it will do it in computer. I will tell you more when I get it.

You would want to check and see if it is HDMI capable. I cannot remember honestly.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

Nice to meet you. The mini port to HDMI actually worked well for me...I only use for my projector but it gets the job done well. No problems at all thus far. Hope this helps.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

It supports 1080p INPUT. but it's native resolution is on 1280X800 so 720p is the best you are going to get.

I had mine hooked up to a tv and monitor and had to compromise on resolution because the TV was at a slightly lower resolution.

I am using the HDMI and am getting that resolution. I am sure you can though.

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

My understanding is that it will "pass through" a 4K signal on HDMI inputs 1-5, but it will NOT upscale a lower resolution signal to approximate a 4K signal. See pages 8 and 28 of the operating manual for more detail.

Depending on your setup, this is incorrect.If you have an HDMI cable out to your TV, any input signal is getting upconverted. That means if you have a composite cable at 480i going in, it's getting sent at the highest possible conversion. Of course, there's only so much you can do with a 480i signal, so it doesn't look all that much better - but yes, there is upconversion happening.

Jason, I have only used the HDMI ports. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your question...

No, Hdmi 1 and 2 are inputs only to the monitor, they are not out put drivers.

This box outputs with DVI, not HDMI. I didn't have any luck trying to use DVI to HDMI adaptors. It could have been my monitors though.

I only see an one HDMI port and that is an HDMI output. I don't believe it can be used for input purposes but have not tried to use it that way.

I've been using it in my monitor native resolution, which is 1920X1080. As it is a digital cable, I see no reason why it wouldn't work at higher resolutions, but haven't tried it.
