If only HDMI port 3 is HDMI 2.0, will all other inputs not be upscaled to 4k?

A high definition source coming through any of the four HDMI inputs will be upscaled to 4K. As it happens, Amazon's description saying that there is only one HDMI 2.0 input is wrong: all of the inputs are marked as "HDMI(4K@60Hz)/DVI IN", meaning that they all use HDMI 2.0. (There is only one HDCP 2.2 input, but that's something else entirely.) HDMI 2.0 doesn't really matter at the moment, since there are no current sources that output 4K@60Hz, with the best current sources being at 4K@30Hz, which even HDMI 1.4 can handle. However, there will be 4K@60Hz sources, probably within the next year, and those will require an HDMI 2.0 input, so having HDMI 2.0 inputs is important for the future. On this TV, all of the inputs are HDMI 2.0, but each one is slightly different. HDMI 1 has HDCP 2.2, which is a copy protection scheme that will be required when 4K Blu-ray players come out; HDMI 2 contains the ARC (Audio Return Control) feature, allowing you to plug in a receiver and send the receiver's video signal into the TV while simultaneously sending the TV's audio back to the receiver without using a separate audio cable; HDMI 3 allows a Deep Color (10 bit) source to be plugged in; while HDMI 4 is designed for MHL (Mobile High-definition Link), allowing you to plug in a mobile phone. Frankly, I would like to see HDCP 2.2, ARC, and Deep Color all available on the same input, but with the 2014 LG TVs, you have to choose which feature you want. At least they have HDCP 2.2 available on one of their inputs, which is good since the TV industry is really pushing to make it mandatory. But again, all of this stuff has nothing to do with upscaling. All of the inputs will upscale to 4K.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

It's quite possible. Problem with using multiple video signals is the card will only broadcast in one resolution. You'll have to adjust the video to the receiving box that has the lowest resolution typically. I've used analog and DVI at the same time but not sure why an HDMI connector wouldn't carry a signal out to a third device at the same time.

This is one way. It has 3 inputs (for your HDMI devices) and one output (goes to your TV, A/V Receiver, etc). They can't do what you stated.

I do not have a definitive answer, however everything I have read suggests an updated (hardware, not just firmware) controller chip will most likely be needed to fully implement HDMI 2.0.

The included HDMI cable does not upscale the signal. Seiki did announce one that actively upscales in the cable, but the one included with the tv simply supports the resolution on the tv. The TV itself has a scalar that upscales lower resolution stuff.If you have a PC you can force 120hz refresh at 1080p, I haven't tried a console.

The cable is able to upconvert to 4K if the input signal from the device is at 1080p 24 Hz or 30 Hz. If your cable box is outputting at 1080 60Hz, it won't be able to upconvert to 4K.

No,pass through 4K at 30fps not 60fps in order for it to be HDMI 2 compliant

HDMI port 3 will always work, just like any other HDMI Port, you don't have to worry about it being a strange port, aside from whatever it may say "In your owners manual". I have been told by others that the tv has been updated to where all ports are 4k capable. But in my own personal owners manual, it says that on my tv, the only HDMI port capable of 4k is port 3. Now, when the person said to me that all ports were now 4k capable, he did so by saying that the tv he got was an American version or model number, but when I got mine, it had some added characters which to me suggest I was sent a foreign model when I ordered mine from Amazon, and not the US model. I think my model numbers end in AU, so I don't want to have to find the book at the moment, but regardless, HDMI port 3 in the owners manual "I" got said that it was the 4k port. I know I use it myself for 4k on my PC. I don't use a small Monitor for my pc, just my tv, and everything I do is from the TV, so it was simply easier to use this port, knowing it was the fastest port, whether or not it was 4k capable, because I would prefer the highest FPS from the Pc, vs the 30FPS that may be possible on the slower ports, if they in fact are slower. So don't worry, the tv is great, and the 3d is some of the best I've ever seen. The tv can manage your pc gaming, you won't need a small monitor anymore. If your worried about anything, don't. A great TV:) From an avid gamer, and lover of Movies in 3d, this is a fantastic model television.

No the actual chipsets for HDMI 2.0 are hardware and not software driven. I am also waiting on the AVR's to start shipping with the 2.0 spec chips; if you are going for 4k at the higher frame rates I suggest you wait. This AVR will still do the 4k at the lower frame rates and bit fields so if all you really care about is 1080p content and 4K at lower frame rates you should be good to go with this receiver for a few years. There isn't much 4k content even available yet but it should be coming soon when they announce what media (probably blu-ray) they can fit it on.

Which monitor is stuck at 720p? One of the 3 in the device? Or the 4th in the other display port?

I don't know for certain, never tried it but if 4K can be played back through other hdmi I don't see why this won't .

Yes, if you have a laptop/PC with HDMI version 1.4 which supports up to 4K2K.Sometimes it is the computer's HDMI that can't output full resolution, in this case QHD, not that the monitor can't display.

My graphics card is NVIDIA GTX660 2G with HDMI,DVI and Display port,but only display port can support 4K resolution. :)There are 2 ways of delivering 4K content, HDMI and DisplayPort. A) HDMI The current HDMI 1.4 standard only has bandwidth for 4K at 30hz. HDMI 2.0 will add support for 4K at 60Hz. B) DisplayPort 1.2 DisplayPort can support 4K @ 60Hz using Multi-Stream Transport(MST). The graphics card provides signals for multiple displays but these are multiplexed on a single cable. All GeForce GTX 600 and 700 series GPUs can support 4K resolutions through DisplayPort. The NVIDIA driver automatically detects 4K 60Hz tiled format, so no special user set up is required. In order to power games at this resolution with settings turned up NVIDIA recommends GTX 780 SLI or better.

Dear Customer,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable! This is a single link adapter and will support resolutions up to 1080p but not 4K resolutions (3840x2160).Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Yes it supports the HDMI resolutions. And the default output setting is 720P.

You'll still need the HDMI due to the signal encoding restrictions over optical. With optical you usually are limited to 2 channels rather than the 5.1 channels over HDMI
