do these cables send 1080 to your tv if its been running 720 the whole time? or is that just the setting on the tv i need to to set up myself?

The cable itself is 1080p. As long as your device is 1080p capable, you should get the full resolution.

My TV is not a 2013. Its a 50pk750. The wireless receiver uses an HDMI slot and a connection called wireless controler. I mounted the device which is the size of a portable hard drive to the back of my TV and I place the transmitter on my entertainment center just below the wall mounted TV. I had no signal issues and the 1080 was fine. I did not try sending signals accross the room or through a wall. Over all.... I think its great! Weither it word on your TV. IDK. Give it a try if you have the wireless input on the back. Its worth in my opinion.

I think the confusion lies in what the TV is capable of. The built-in TV tuner is only set at 720p, still HD but not *full* HD. The TV itself (monitor) is capable of 1080i. Meaning if you hook up an external HD source to it, such as a Blu-Ray player or video game system, you can view those displays as 1080i (not 1080p, but that's negligible). These specifications threw me off a little, too, when I read them so I reviewed the manual at Vizio's website. Hope this helps.

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

Robert, I am not sure. I have a smaller version of this converter. I was trying it with my Direct TV receiver box to see if I could change my display settings and I kept getting an error message saying my TV was not HD compatible which is true as my TV does not have any HDMI inputs. So no, I could not go from 480 to 1080 in my situation. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck!

What goes in comes out on each port. There is no switching - it sends to both ports. Splitters replicate and regenerate the signal not split the signal to something less than it was before. There is no drop down from 1080 to 720 if that is what you mean. You will experience more data loss issues in the cables you select and the length. HDMI is very sensitive to both of those. For regular HDMI cables, two 6ft HDMI cables and a splitter in the middle will do better than a single 12ft HDMI cable for example.

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?

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

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?

The splitter with deliver the signal in the 720p resolution to the 1080p tv. I know this because when I first hooked up the splitter I had it going to a 720p and 1080p tv. The picture on the 1080p tv was terrible since it was outputting the lower resolution signal. I remedied the situation by replacing the 720p tv with a 1080p tv. Now it works great!

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

What do you have attached to hdmi 1 . I have a Dish 722 receiver which is a 1080 p device and the tv operates at 1080 p. I also have a Roku unit on Hdmi 2 and it also operates at 1080. I suspect your device on HDMI 1 is not capable or set for 1080

Their HD model streams at a max of 720p, while their more expensive models go up to 1080*. That asterix denotes that the detail is pursuant to what carriers offer. Example; Netflix only streams in 720p.Give a look at what the options are. If you want other components like a usb pnp, than upgrade, however the base model will support your tv. No need to get one that supports 1080 when you have 720p. Save your money and buy me a beer for good advice.

Although I don't have a specific answer to this issue, I know that my TV will automatically select 720p over 1080i when I am using a Blu-Ray player or Xbox gaming system. 720p is actually a higher resolution image, because the picture is progressively scanned. Because my TV is only capable of a 1080i (interlaced) image, I cannot enjoy the full benefits of 1080p. The next best choice is then 720p, which is exactly what my system chooses to display by default.

I go 720p. I beleive its a higher quality image. Either way they dont broadcast in 1080i i beleive 720 is the highest they broadcast at the moment on cable boxes. I know my local time warner does not broadcast at 1080
