Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

Yes, this TV supports 1080p via component. This was a selling point for me, because I want to play my X-Box 360 games (Lost Planet) in 1080p.

I'm not sure if this applies to this situation, but with the HDFury adapter, you can get 1080p. I think it only applies if you have an older TV or monitor that doesn't have HDMI, but it might be useful anyway.

I am usuing a dlp HDTV with the component cables. I had to manually lower the screen resolution in the android settings to get it working smoothly. I hope to get my HDMI port working soon however on my TV.

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?

rahvatech, This model has both composite and component outputs as well as HDMI. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

My view is that the S4 in all versions doesn't have an mini HDMI output port as far as I know looking at the specs. The only port is a mini UBS port which is used for charger and other devices. This doesn't work in such a port. Check your manual, and you'll find the charging port is a mini USB. This is a mini HDMI connector that will not work. The S4 can't output HDMI. It can record in HD, but that goes on the SD card you can use, not for pumping out HD externally.

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

That makes sense. As much as I love the Samsung plasmas for superior motion, picture quality, colors, and blacks -- for movies and hi-def TV, even in 768P -- I would still get a 1080p LCD if I were going to use it regularly as a monitor for a computer. Just be sure whatever LCD you do buy supports HD monitor display from a computer -- and via a type of connection that your computer has. Also be sure it does allow the display to be shown in different sizes and does not stick on 4:3 as my LCD does. You will want versatility.

Hi Treejoy, could you provide us more details about your inquiry on setting it to 1089i. First is that this TV supports 1080i and it is also available in video component 1 and HDMI. Once detected, it will be displayed on the screen. -Ely

note it will output to HDMI *only* if there are no component cables plugged into RX-675 monitor output. When something is plugged in there, that will be the preferred video output for component input; it will not be sent to HDMI (thank you Amazon support for helping me with this!)

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

Is this TV capable of "24p"? I'm not sure what that is, but it supposedly improves the picture quality, so, and Panasonic just introduced this kick-ass BD player, which I would sooo consider buying after I get a new TV, since my 3-year old LCD (Dynex) totally stopped working about a month ago...(I'm using my gramma's 14" DTV for now, would upgrade yesterday, but I'll be w/o the necessary cash probably for another 8+ months...). Thanks.

I thought the S550 even allows HDMI output to send 1080p. Should I set it to just 1080i instead? My TV accepts 1080p.The cnet website http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6859904-1.html says to just try different mode. Any idea from anyone, what the setting for the S550 should be set to?

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

Actually the Xbox 360 can output 1080p via VGA cable and Component Cables which this TV supports. The update was released several months ago but some people will have problems depending on there TV set.

I guess that depends of your receiver this only transform your rca or component wii connection to hdmi with usually to 1080 but this is not true, bit works for me, because my tv didn't have rca or component only hdmi
