If I hook it up to my 40in HDTV(1920 x 1080) via HDMI, will I get great picture and video quality?

I hooked it up to my 46" HDTV and use it to watch movies from Hulu and other TV series (CBS, NBC, etc). The quality in the TV depends on the quality of the video stream: if HD, the quality is excellent, 480 is acceptable.

Should be able. I thought I may have trouble with the audio, but it turns out that I am able to get a good picture, may be not as HD as one would like, but good audio and a clear picture. It was worth it. You will need an HDMI cable and be sure to get one that is at least 3 feet or more. Hope this helps.

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

There's enough ports for it. But it all depends on the resolution you're running. I tried running a 1920x1080 and a regular hd tv with it and it blew it's mind

Yes, this should work fine. I have the laptop connected to a 42 inch TV by way of HDMI cable. I can watch movies in 720p and 1080p with no problems. I also stream movies online with no issues.

With any hdmi relay or switch it is recommended that you use a larger gauge hdmi cable. I have 24awg cable with no loss in picture quality

If the cable company equipment has component OUT, and your TV has component IN, then you will probably get the best picture doing that, unless you spend much more than this device costs. I have an older Flat screen that has 1 HDMI port and component IN. The HDMI port went out. I purchased this, and the picture was good, but had some noise (white spots here and there). Plus most services on my Apple TV gave me HDCP errors and I was not able to view them...which was frustrating because it has "HDCP" written on the case. I returned it and just stuck with component for now. It is not as great a pic as HDMI, but it is still very good.

only if the HD TV has a composite input and you don't mind that the output is low resolution compared to your HD TV which means it will only fill a small part of the screen unless you zoom the image. I would look for a camera that has 720p or better resolution with HDMI output, you will usually get better performance if you pay a little more this is especially true if you want low light visibility.

It may, I'm not sure actually since it's a bit of an antiquated technology, but the lower resolution channels don't look very good and don't make the value justify the cost. Anything less than the 1080p leaves a lot to be desired. If you're using a PAL format or NSC/ATSC, then you may want to save money and get a 720p television.

No, you probably won't even get video, in the conversion you drop to analog and without an active adapter/converter the analog signal hits the HDMI and bad things happen

No, You won't be happy with the results, severely degrades the picture quality. Can't connect digital HDMI to analog VGA.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

No, quality still comes through as 1080p. I use it for my Xbox and PS3 and it works great.

I have this in my pc but am not using the hdmi. Slot. If it works as the DV. It should be great

Yes. The signal will be a lot clearer. It is recommended that you connect both the component (HD) and composite cables. This will allow to select various resolutions from low to high.

yes, 1080p is better than 720p and you will notice a difference even at 20ft away (given the source material/player/source is in 1080p)!

Yes, but you have to confirm that the HD-SDI camera you choose can be set either by switches or an on-screen menu to output one of the following HDMI 1.3 output resolution: 720P@50HZ, 720P@60HZ, 1080i@50HZ, 1080i@60HZ, 1080P@24HZ, 1080P@25HZ, 1080P@30HZ, 1080P@50HZ, 1080P@60HZ - and of course your "TV MONITOR" must have an HDMI in port.
