Is there a significant benefit in using a converter such as the Atlona AT-HD500 that scales up the image? I have a 2560X1600, 30" monitor.

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

I have a lap top that I use for my PC. I use the adaptor and two cables to hook up to the lap top so I can use my "42" HDTV" to to have a larger screen to look at. I prefer the much larger screen to watch at home.

Marsha:I am working with Windows 7, 64 bits and works fine; however, I am a photography fan, and I got a strong frustration with the quality of the converted files. It is something like 5 Mega pixels.For that reason, I bought a 20MP converter. I will receive it next week. If you have any question, please do not hesitate in contacting me, I'll be glad to share my experiences.Best regards, Ricardo

Correct, you will get a scaled image at the lower native resolution. Fine for most video, but it will definitely make pixel-perfect images like overlays and in-camera peaking blurry.

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.

Already left my feedback, but this Newmap V808 is a better all-around monitor in my experience, and more affordable! It features both HDMI in and out like another commenter mentioned, along with dual battery slots and a nifty HDMI cable protector. Regarding your camera, I think the 60d lowers to 480p resolution when you hit record so don't think you'll get the full resolution your monitor is capable of. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Newmap-V808-7-034-HDMI-Camera-Monitor-1024x600-/321614642997?

Most likely not. That converter takes whatever line resolution it gets in and sends that out directly to the HDMI port. Most HDMI displays won't be compatible with 600x400 or smaller image.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

This TV can not take any input signal greater than 1920x1080. It will internally upscale the incoming signal to the panel's 2560x1080 resolution, but there is no way to feed that resolution directly into the set.The reason for this is that the input line buffer of the internal scaler chip can only hold 2048 pixel, and therfore can not handle any resolution with a width greater than that.

those converter boxes to get one that does 1080p with decent quality and without adding a bunch of input lag... you might as well get a new xboxwhy a TV manufacturer would put a VGA input on a 1080p TV and not support 1920x1080 through that VGA input i'll never know

This, and any 22" or larger LCD monitor, is going to give a softer image when using an analog input like VGA. It really can't be avoided when you get to these sizes and resolutions in LCD, unless you get a truly expensive monitor meant for graphic design artists. It will work, but it won't be as crisp or clear as if it were connected via HDMI or DVI. That's just what you deal with when you switch to large LCDs. However, for a VGA image, this looks pretty darn good. The review you read might have neglected to calibrate the monitor properly once connected via VGA. It's not washed-out at all... It's just not as crystal-crisp as a digital source.

Separate. I concur with Delores. I'm running hdmi (out) to dvi converter (monitor) and I think res is great. I recall reading about power supply upgrade if you upgrade card. Great machine.

Yes it upscales even 480p to UHD 3840x2160. The better the source, the better the upscale quality, 4K mastered Blu-Rays and even streamed 1080p look fantastic..even better than my 1440p computer monitor.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

If your TV is so old that it needs a converter box, just get a new flat screen one. The picture on any HDTV is 1000x better than old analog. Besides, you know, being flat.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

Upscaling and upconverting are used interchangeably though I'm sure the definitions my technically be different. As far as DVD's are concerned, neither do anything to the sound quality and applies to video quality as far as I know. The "up convert" capabilities of the Samsung DVD-C500 results in an excellent 1080p resolution. It still isn't true HD! No DVD upscale (or up converting) player will ever result a true HD picture, but this unit produces video of fantastic quality via HDMI in my opinion.

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.
