Both T220 (no tuner) and T220HD (ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner) models, as well as ALL current-model Samsung widescreen digital monitors have HDCP decoding.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking I might wait and see how much the T240HD is when it gets released now, since it will have the actual resolution to display 1080p.

I asked nvidea about their lack of updates on their compatability list, and if newer versions of hdtv's were compatable. The guy stated firmly that if hdtv is not on compatability list, it will not work. I got no answer why they don't update list for newer tv's.

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

if acer has XP drivers for this monitor, you should be able to download them from their website. what scares me is that i can't even get on their website, it is VERY slow. so i don't know if they have XP drivers. check out samsung 2220WM, it is a similar monitor only slightly more expensive with XP support (and drivers).

I use this card with a DVI connection but the card does have an HDMI output on the back of it. Having checked the box specs, it matches the specific product information on this card is at http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=da9cfd1c-4a26-4dfe-8ea4-60bfee692152 Neither of them specify HDMI 2.0 because I don't think it had been finalized yet. The product specification does state that it supports 4k resolution. So the answer is, this card will interface with HDMI 2.0 screens, but you may not get the full bandwidth from the HDMI 2.0 spec because we don't really know if this card was made when HDMI 1.4 was the current spec or if the output of its HDMI port really supports HDMI 2.0. Further information available from the HDMI 2.0 spec is at http://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-2-0-what-you-need-to-know/ I'm sorry I can't be of more help but there just isn't specific information available and I don't have a 4k resolution screen with HDMI to confirm.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

I have a PX2710MW and it is AWESOME! NO bad pixels ever; just fine colors and a great and bright display. I wondered about them since it was an unknown beck then but it is as good or better than my previous Samsung monitors.

I asked this not too long ago and removed my question because the manufacturer doesn't even recognize HL163ABB as a product. 3 different calls to their support and they all gave me different answers because they were guessing. At first they told me they didn't make that model(HL163ABB) and I must've had it wrong. I had to ask them to google the model number. From what I have found, HL161ABB has more of a viewing angle, can tilt, and uses a little more power. Though I've purchased 2 of them and both of them were broken. I'm about to buy my 3rd one, praying it doesn't have any problems. The HL163ABB uses slightly less power, can't tilt, stands a bit taller, the manufacturer has no idea about it, and the ports are on the back of the monitor so you probably won't be able to mount it(though the screws are there indicating it could be mounted). Even though I got 2 of HL161ABB sent to me that were broken(buttons stop working on both of them), I'm still trying again and buying a 3rd time. Hannspree techsupport will make you pay for shipping and says they usually have it back within 3 weeks. When you e-mail them, they won't respond for days as well so I didn't even bother and just returned the monitor to Amazon... Goodluck, these are the only 16" led monitors with d-sub/vga around so we don't have much of an option.

Dirk. I know nothing about the MAC...I'm a PC user and I can't find the paperwork that came with the monitor so I can look up the spec info you need, so I really don't have a clue if it is compatible with a MAC or not. Why wouldn't it be? Maybe if you check online with Samsung with this model number, that might give you your answer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors. Eric.O is absolutlely correct.

I read somewhere that, it supports a resolution of 2560x1600. so it should support dual monitors if the total resolutions falls under this. I'm using nVidia GPU, so I never tried the onboard hdmi or DVI.

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.

D. Yang, you are incorrect. 1080p can also go through component cables as well as vga, dvi, and hdmi. Component 1080p is not always supported by the display, but the cables have no problems. the samsung lcd ln-s4095 accepts 1080p through the component input for example. hdcp is a set of guidelines that dictate how a digital HD signal are protected over hdmi or dvi. hdmi is specifically engineered to meet the restrictions. DVI is almost identical digital cable except for no audio and a different connector. DVI can adapt to HDMI without conversion. Component is analog and not digital, therefore it has no hdcp restriction implementations. This may be why some companies do not allow 1080p over component. If a monitor can except 1080p from component then there is no problem. another point to make is that the ICT restriction flag is not yet turned on, so broadcast or media content is not yet even restricted. So while hdcp compliance is a probable future necessity, it is not yet a reality. For those wanting 1080p from an xbox 360, look no further than vga or component for right now. I believe a digital connection will be available soon enough though. The xbox is capable of true digital HD, so a hdmi cable may be here soon. Ask MS.

DJ, no, this monitor does not show the sparkling effect. I browse many text articles and scroll through schematic pages with this monitor and I have never had a visual problem with mine.

Watching the biathlon, alpine, and snowslope ski events were fantastic.This monitor replaced a great Samsung that unfortunately succumbed to the capacitor bulge problem, and when I powered this up the first evening I noticed the upper edge does not get as hot like my old monitor did.

I'd like to ask you a question about the 24p content. I produce videos in 24p, and although I'm very creative, I'm not a tech guru. Thus, I've been trying to witness the difference between TV's out there that claim to have good 24p playback capabilities, as we produce several things at that frame rate. Have you seen them side by side? Does the lower Hz level really make a big difference? I've seen the 8000 in action, but never checked the Hz level and didn't compare it to the 7000. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.
