Could I use it without using it's HDMI pass-through? I want to use it with a 1440p monitor and still play at 1440p.

Does not Support 1440pYou can use it w/o the pass-though, but you won't hear any audio, & unless you have fullscreen preview SW (which Media Express, doesn't allow full screen Pre-view from the SW) you can not view it full screen either.

Yes you can. You can use it either as an HDMI or using RCA cables. I have both set up. enjoy.

Yes you can and I do. You do need an HDMI cable or a DVI to HDMI. It works fine once you fit to screen, lower the sharpness, and put it into game mode. I'd say the only thing that makes this not a worthy monitor is the dot depth. That is basically how far away the pixels are from one another. If you are to close you can actually see the pixel borders, but if you a about a foot and a half away Id say you cant see them any more.

There is a USB and a LAN port for input only. NO HDMI input. There IS an HDMI output port and component output as well as audio L/R output. So, no pass through. It will output audio on the HDMI cable though if you are playing a movie from the USB or from your LAN. Be warned though that this unit WILL pause if you are trying to play NETFLIX HDMI streaming video.

Yes, that is correct. You can't send the output over HDMI, only via the 5.1 analog outputs.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

Yes you definitely can. I have mine set up that way. You just need a video card that has an HDMI output.

Yes. There is an option to not show any on-screen graphics (Rec, audio levels etc) via HDMI out. Though, if you do go into the menu, it does show up on screen.

You have to use DVI. the HDMI cable will not support full screen. It's dumb, I know, but DVI puts out the same quality.

Jason, I have only used the HDMI ports. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your question...

You need the latest spec HDMI cable. The old standard did not provide this feature.

That's basically right. This device only has HDMI-in, and no pass-through. So, unless you can already hook up your PC to your giant HDTV, you will not be able to use that HDTV to play games at the same time without another device. To do that, you'll need an HDMI splitter of some sort.

I'm not sure if you have to use a hdmi cable, I think you can use av wires, but you won't get the full HD effect without hdmi.

Connecting the Nvidia 3d on HDMI Cables is not recommended because it will not deliver the 120 hz, you wont enjoy it at all

Yes you can ... You can also use it with hdmi compatible game systems and DVD players etc.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee
