If you want to view 3d material you'll need a 1.4 cable. The cables are backwards compatible so even if something in your setup is only 1.3 you'll still be able to use a 1.4 cable. Brand of cables for digital material really doesn't matter. So a $80 premium cable will not carry a better picture then the amazon basics $8 cable.

1.3b might work depending on the bit/px of the original signal but is not officially supported. Check out wikipedia, they have a very nice graph showing what each version is certified to carry.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdmi#Version_comparison

I use the old HDMI cables I purchased 2 years ago and can get 3d from my xbox and cable box on this TV

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

No, the 876 will not decode 3d content with it's 1.3v HDMI. so I went on Amazon and brought the onkyo nr3008. Nice too it just like 876 but more advanced. guess im selling the 876 on amazon.com as a seller

Well, i own a panasonic blu-ray (3D) Tech specs here http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMP-BDT220?t=specs, and a Smart Samsung Tv 3D, and i have never had problems. Im not sure if any of my devices delivers 1.4 hdmi, but the cable is working just fine.

The best signal you will be able to get via component cabling is "1080i" upscaling does nothing to this one way or another. Your only gain using HDMI before your TV would be less cabling as their bandwidth is worthless due to yoru tv having the wrong inputs. I would recommend the HDMI cables just incase you ever upgrade to a newer tv and find out "crap I don't have the best cables for this, now I have to go buy them."

So while HD4000 is more than capable of displaying 2560x1440 the screen doesn't use the faster implementation of HDMI. This means that you can only display full resolution at 30HTz instead of the standard 60. From experience this feels very fuzzy and probably not worth the trouble. 1080P runs fine on HDMI but to get full res you need either dual-dvi or displayport. EDIT: After doing some reading I realized I gave some incorrect data. The screen is speced to be able to run HDMI1.4 which is good enough to run full resolution. If you are using a computer with HDMI1.3 you will be stuck at 30HTz like I explained above.

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

I purchased high speed HDMI cables. I have my XBOX, PS3, and my DirecTv all running into the Subwoofer then I use one HDMI cable out to the TV and use the Subwoofer as my source of what device I am using. You will need a total of 4 HDMI. If you are not doing 3D then you don't need the higher speed HDMI cables. If your cable box does not support HDMI then I am not sure what to do.

You're mixing apples and oranges. It's the HDMI 1.4 ports that can only accept a maximum resolution of 3,840x2,160p30 (or 3,840 by 2,160 @ 30 frames per second) assuming 24-bit color because the bandwidth is not wide enough to handle any more than that. HDMI 2.0 (standard just agreed a few months ago) doubles that bandwidth to accommodate 60 fps keeping everything else constant. You're talking about the refresh rate when you mention 120Hz meaning that the TV is refreshing its picture faster than the fps rate of the source material. As of right now, there is no 120 fps video that I'm aware of, but it's supposed to be the standard for UHTV (4k) whenever they start producing 4k native content. Of course, at that point, not even HDMI 2.0 will have a sufficiently wide bandwidth to handle the 120 fps content at 4k resolution. The short answer to your question is that it's not the TV or its refresh rate, but rather the limit of its HDMI ports that is the problem with the current generation of 4k sets.

Honestly, my cable actually looks different. Mine says "new higher performance" and mine is labeled 17.8 gbps. The one u are looking at must be 15.8 gbps. I See it also says it on the box. I would try to get the one that I have, it does look different, it's new higher performance model. Chances are unless your tv is above 240hz than I wouldn't worry too much.

OK, the 3D image is made of 2 side-by-side frames, which a 3D TV processes separately and re-displays with a slight offset. A (non-stereoscopic) 3D projector should be able to do that. The stereoscopic 3D from a few years back used blue and red images offset. I use a card reader (or USB stick) to play back the SD card from the Toshiba through a 3D bluray player and/or a USB side port on my 3D TV - both made by LG. You should check if your Canon projector has a button/command that ACTIVATES the aforementioned offset. When that happens, you should see a blurred image - did I forget to mention you also need PASSIVE glasses (like those you get in theaters)?

I have the SenseVision DisplayPort to 3xDisplayPort...it did work for me. Not the Pro 2....But if i had to do it again i would just spend the money on a better video card that has the outputs i need. the unit ships from europe so the item requires a 240v input. I had to by and stepdown/up converter to go from 240v to 120v. My monitors had hdmi input and had to get a cable dvi to hdmi...just another added expense. But it works. Im using ATI in Eyefinity to configure the monitors. My Video card is R7750. have 3 monitors..2 samsung and 1 seiki 4k tv. Does work better when all monitor are the same size...

This is a native120hz panel that uses "scanning backlight" tech to achieve 240hz.. It doesn't matter what signal you feed it, it will still output a 240hz rendering. The 60hz you see in the top right info bar is simply the frequency/frame rate from your NTSC broadcast from your cable box/DVR or over the air signal. IN England it would say 50hz. All that aside, pay no attention to the top info bar if this has you worried. If you play a Blu Ray, it will say 1080p24 (assuming you have your Blu Ray sending your TV 1080p/24) This is really nothing you need to concern yourself with. The info bar ONLY displays the signal you are feeding the TV and NOT what the TV is putting out. The TV will ALWAYS put out a 1080p signal at either 60hz, 50hz or 24fps depending on your source. The 240hz is the screens REFRESH RATE and has nothing to do with the input or output signal. TO understand this further you can find useful info on both Wikipedia and the AVS forum among other places. Do not worry, this TV IS 240hz (120hz with scanning back light doubling what you see) Cheers! Marty G

HDMI 1.3- No. That is a feature of the step up 89 series, not 87 series. See 6189s. The caveat here is that 1.3 has become standard for a while now and Samsung's parts bin may contain all 1.3 parts by now. So the 87s MIGHT be 1.3 now, by default. Certainly would not count on it. 24p- yes, they can and do display 24 fps. HOWEVER they will only do this if the player can "force" 24 fps. The PS3 and some Panasonic bluray's can do this. Don't know about the xbox 360. In PS3, you have to change 24p setting from "automatic" to "on" in order to force it to tv. 120hz- sorta. It is listed as doing 120hz. But this is because it is wobulated, as are all single chip DLP sets (which is all of them). In reality, the DLP chip is not 1080p, it has to quickly fill in and effectively double the pixels in order to produce a 1080 image. The 120hz helps to accomplish this even faster. Also these sets are 3D capable which is the true reason they have 120hz. I say true reason because LCD's offered this higher refresh rate to help combat motion blur, or "smooth" the picture with their 4-8ms response time. DLP response time is about 15ms, IIRC. But in DLP's case that's "microseconds" not "milliseconds"- it is light years faster than any LCD panel and so 120hz is not really needed with DLP tech- motion blur was never a problem. It's used for 3D (and 24p) capability. The newer models coming in April are supposedly 240hz. Hope this helps

Hello LizEllen you may have found a solution to your question by now. I do apologize for not answering sooner. Hopefully you have discovered by now that there are 3 types of HDMI connectors to consider. If you need clarity you can Google the web for HDMI connector types and select Images instead of Web to view the types. I hope this proves helpful for future endeavors. I just want to let you know that the Link Depot cable works flawlessly for extending my Toshiba Satellite C655 to a Samsung 65" LED LCD TV through a Yamaha RX-V375 receiver.
