Anybody know what u need to do to get it to play 1080p? i put my xbox one on it thru HDMI and nothing it still was in native res?

It doesn't give the full 1080p. You need to get a higher native resolution projector. If you want to get the best image your XBOX can produce you need to get at least WXGA resolution and a high contrast ratio starting at 10000:1. I feel your pain, I learned this the hard way too. I ended up going with the LG PA70G for $450 and couldn't be happier. View sonic also makes some good ones for less than $500 if you are budget restricted like me.

There are 2 HDMI inputs on the ViewHD, one for 1080i and the other for 1080p. If you haven't done this, try the other input as well. There is also an H1 & H2 switch that apparently has to be in the right position depending on which HDMI input you are feeding into. Just in case, be sure the VGA / Y/Pr/Pb switch is in the latter position. "DTV Input" has a strange connotation in that it suggests it is an input for digital signals. But you also refer to it as "Y/Pr/Pb" so this must mean it is an analog input, and therefore should work coming out of the analog Y/Pr/Pb output from the ViewTV. These are the best suggestions I can make not being there. There is also a trouble-shooting guide in the manual. There are 2 HDMI inputs on the ViewHD, one for 1080i and the other for 1080p.

Sony need to send an update first. Maybe that update is already sent. You need to check on avermedia website. But it works perfectly on Xbox one

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.

Just got off the phone w/ LG tech support and they confirmed that you have to manually set the box to 720p (or presumably 1080i) when you want to use youtube, your own media, and netflix. This seems to be an issue w/ the latest firmware, b/c it was working w/ *auto* before the update. Pushed the tech person to understand how silly this is, but got nowhere. My goodness, just set the output to 720p or 1080i when streaming any of the services that can't support 1080p. Hopefully a new firmware update will be forthcoming.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

Yes, I'm using it with a Roku 3. I can't use the Roku at 1080 but I think that's a limitation of HDMI on my TV. The Xbox is using 1080 on the other half without an issue.

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to &gt; System preference &gt; displays &gt; click the HDMI output. Hope this work cause mine works fine.

Hello, the video source must be on 1080i the avue can handled that resolution, even the 1080p, I use this and other converter from hdmi to sdi at my Tv Channel and both of them are working great. I hope this answer can help you!

Yeah, use 720p, as 1080i at best would look the same, and would probably look worse. The 360 usually renders internally at 720p (sometimes lower), and just upsamples it to hit 1080i-and then the TV would have to downsample it back to 720p, so probably there's going to be a loss of quality there...or at least it would be pretty silly to do that!

Make sure the HDMI port you plugged the stick into supports MHL. On my TV only one port supported MHL.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

D. Yang, you are incorrect. 1080p can also go through component cables as well as vga, dvi, and hdmi. Component 1080p is not always supported by the display, but the cables have no problems. the samsung lcd ln-s4095 accepts 1080p through the component input for example. hdcp is a set of guidelines that dictate how a digital HD signal are protected over hdmi or dvi. hdmi is specifically engineered to meet the restrictions. DVI is almost identical digital cable except for no audio and a different connector. DVI can adapt to HDMI without conversion. Component is analog and not digital, therefore it has no hdcp restriction implementations. This may be why some companies do not allow 1080p over component. If a monitor can except 1080p from component then there is no problem. another point to make is that the ICT restriction flag is not yet turned on, so broadcast or media content is not yet even restricted. So while hdcp compliance is a probable future necessity, it is not yet a reality. For those wanting 1080p from an xbox 360, look no further than vga or component for right now. I believe a digital connection will be available soon enough though. The xbox is capable of true digital HD, so a hdmi cable may be here soon. Ask MS.

you can get 1080p only through HDMI. So you might want to try that and double check your settings. make sure the tv is set to 1080p also.

I don't have XBox but PS3. It's working perpectly on PS3 and I think if XBox use HDMI connection, it should be working fine. :)

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

Guys I believe I was one of the first people who reported this issue....and eventually gave up on getting any help here....so I pieced together some info myself and solved the riddle. The older model elite and pro versions of the Xbox have some major issues with this receiver. The only way to avoid HDMI handshake issues is to run the HDMI from the Xbox straight to the TV and then run an optical audio cable to the receiver (this is not a bad solution neccesarily bc the Xbox can only output 5.1 audio as is the limitation for an optical audio cable - 7.1 is a PS3 thing bc it is HDMI 1.3a and Xbox 1.2) Anyhoo, I noticed that people with the new Slim Xbox's weren't having this problem. I went to the Xbox forums and found that with the old Xbox's this is a known problem and cannot be fixed. So I got a new Xbox Slim with Kinect. Before hooking it up, I found that the "BD" HDMI slot is the only one with HDMI Passthrough which helps a lot with HDMI handshake issues (this receiver has a 1.4 slot and the Xbox a 1.2 even the new Slim is 1.2). Now I have no problems whatsoever with Netflix movies cutting out or any other issues. So the only resolution is to get a newer model Xbox (Slim). Hope this helps and I wish someone would have been there to tell me that a long time ago to save me a lot of time
