I have Comcasts Xfinity X1 platform which only has a 1080 / 60Hz. option. It looks like the cable only works at 1080 / 30 Hz. Is this true?

No the cable works at 60hz also remember it up converts progressive non-interlaced.

Hello. To upscaling to UHD, the source must be 1080p (p, not i). Otherwise, the image has a little improvement, but not UHD. Cable TV normally uses 1080i, so, no upscaling. Blu-ray players with 1080p can be upscaled to UHD.

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 I am getting refresh rates of 1080p at 60 Hz, using Time Warner with 720p/60HZ, Cable will only downgrade the refresh when you are going to 4K from 1080p/60Hz

no you dont. you can use the video/audio cords. i find it easier to use a hdmi because it is just one cord. i have cox and i do use a hdmi. as long as your xfinity has the plug ins for the audio/video you are good to go. if i were giving this as a gift i would include the hdmi plug. hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. So when I get my HD box from Comcast, I should get one of their HD cables also. Right? Should I also get a Comcast HD cable instead of one from some other source to hook up my upconverting DVD player? Kinda takes some of the fun out of researching the world of HD plasma tvs. :-)

I am using the exact same modem and I have xfinity internet service. I have no issues at all. Works perfect. Price compare with costco before you buy it.

Works fine with Mavericks but does not work with the new Comcast X1 Boxes. I upgraded and can't use it anymore.

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

I was unable to get this cable to utilize 120hz on my BenQ XL2720Z. I tried connecting both ways with the HDMI on the monitor and DVI on computer, and vice-versa. Using the DVI cable supplied with my monitor made the 120hz refresh rate show up instantly upon connection with no software installation or reboot.

It depends on the content you're watching. For example, Apple TV is capable of displaying 1080p but only T 60hz so it may be your device or the media you're watching.

Yes, I have had it working on Comcast Xfinity for months. It seems to have a lower output Wifi signal than some others, but if you aren't going a long distance, or in my case through a furnace and a refrigerator, it works great. Off to either side it works great, just not in line.

Yes, it is an HDMI cable of the "High Speed" category. It works fine for CEC as well as DeepColor, Ultra-HD and everything else. I do not think it has Ethernet, though, but that is not used much: http://www.hdmi.org/consumer/finding_right_cable.aspx

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.

Hello A. Gassensmith and Craig, Refresh rates are something that happen in the TV itself, not on the way to the TV. This cable will work perfectly for TVs that have 60Hz, 120, 240.... 900Hz refresh rates. This is a High Speed certified cable that will always be able to get the data to the TV faster than anything on the market can send it. (It can send data at a speed of at least 10.2Gbps and even the fastest 3D BluRay player can only send it at 6Gbps). This is why we provide the detail in the product description that says "Supports the highest refresh rates available". We say it that way because no matter how many Hz a TV specifies as the refresh rate, this cable will still be sending the data fast enough for that refresh rate to be realized. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

I go 720p. I beleive its a higher quality image. Either way they dont broadcast in 1080i i beleive 720 is the highest they broadcast at the moment on cable boxes. I know my local time warner does not broadcast at 1080

From Blu-LinkSadly, The X-Finity cable box series uses an IR bandwidth that operates outside the range of the Blu-Link IR range. It is not compatible with the X-Finity and another previous series of cable boxes, also distributed by Comcast. Sorry.Ody ZabalaCustomer Support AdministratorSMK-Link Electronics Corporation

This is probably coming from your cable box, which brings in a 1080i. My understanding is that the TV converts to 1080P. I am not sure about the Hz, but perhaps it is true there as well

Yes, the refresh rate applies to the screen display, not what signals are coming to the tv via the HDMI cable. The HDMI is the only way to go. You must use HDMI to get full 1080 HD resolution. The other types of cabling gives you 720 or 480 depending upon the cable connection you use. The 3 types of connections require 3 different cable sets. Of course you must have a HD tv to get full HD, but it would be a shame to have a 1080 HD tv and not get the full resolution by cabling the tv wrong.
