So this scales 1080P to 720p? There is no way to play 1080P back on this without scalling?

This is a limitation of XBMC itself. You can play 1080p all day long on the Android side of the gbox.

s crow is wrong on all all levels..this is a limitation of this matricom gbox..xbmc is capable of 4K resolution..I returned my matricom mx2 midnite and bought another cheaper box and I get true 1080p..could be 4k if my tv supported it.

To answer this question is more depth and technically proper: The G-Box MX2 can play 1080p without scaling in any app, except XBMC will scale the videos to 720p. This is not a hardware limitation, it is completely software related. If you decide to go with a full XBMC firmware, such as installing OpenElec, there is no 720p limitation in XBMC and it will play 1080p perfectly. Any other app used in Android such as the media player that comes with the device or Netflix for example will play full 1080p.

its bull. thats what it is. they do that sometimes with tv's that are compatible with 1080p. basically downscales 1080p back to the max resolution. its not 1920x1080p. its practically scam

My understanding is it is 720p. When looking at TV this size, 720p was still the most popular in my search. It will take 1080p in, but then down-scale it to 720.

jose, 4K content would need to be downconverted to a resolution that is supported on this player. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Some networks broadcast in 720P and others at 1080i. I doubt you will be able to tell the difference. I imagine this Sony coverts everything to 720P.

no one lying to you that model is 720p i have it also but... it might have a 1080i for blue-rays and other higher broadcast modes.

Why buy a player that can produce a resolution of 1080 P to a device that is only capable of 320 I or less via a s-video connection. It is like owning a Ferrari with a 4 cylinder engine.

Yes, you can set it to either pass through the native 1080i or deinterlace to 1080p or upscale to 4K, depending on whether you want your receiver or your TV to do the scaling/deinterlacing.

umm that's because it's a widescreen tv and because you refuse to get HD service you are seeing the crappy cropped old-style imagine. You can't magically make the image fit widescreen when it's formatted to the old image. You can only stretch it and it will look like crap.

It's MPEG2 encoded, up to 5 gb (yes, you read right) an hour for 1080i content. Obviously, lower res (720p, 480p/i will require less).

This TV is not 1080p, it's 720p. However, it's generally accepted that on any monitor 50" and below the additional resolution isn't discernable.

Grab a Blu player , as you'll be fine with the 720p ; no downgrade in PQ as the Blu player will still output to 1080p . Just set the Blu player to 1080p (and 24fps to auto) and enjoy the picture .

I am not even sure why they have Full HD 1080i, you can't stretch 640x480 into HD and not loose quality. Videos look great on my computer though.

They certainly don't seem very serious about it, regardless of the specs when it ships. Why on earth would they bother shipping this 1920x1080 resolution camera with just an RCA video cable? When the only way to play anything recorded on this camera in high-def is to either burn it to Blu-Ray on a $300 burner, buy a computer with an HDMI port (which only just recently became commonplace), or have a TV with VGA/DVI support, I can't even begin to fathom why the designers failed to build this player with a modern HDMI-compatible video out interface.

So the progressive scan feature of this player is virtually useless when combined with a 1080i display? Makes sense I guess.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

I solved this. There is no upscaling of HDMI, thats they way it should be. I solved this for older SD DVDS that I play on my blue ray like this, I hooked up a second set of connections and when its old DVDs I switch the receiver to DVD instead of blueray and the upscaler makes them look very much better than just normal DVDs. When I say switch I mean just like you switch the receiver from one component to another its that simple. I am really liking my investment with this receiver.
