what is the supported resolution and bandwidth? can't get it to go up to the resolution of my dell laptop (1920x1080).

I am not sure. I mainly use it to connect two computers to a projector, and it always looks good.

Check out the website for this switch. Google it. I believe it documents all the specs.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual. HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it. HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

Sadly, no. I just tried it out on my Dell 3007, and I can only achieve the non-HDCP resolution of 1280x800.

Your computer's resolution is only limited by the video card and the current monitor. 1920 x 1080 is really just a standard HDTV resolution (16:9) but most all widescreen *computer* (monitor) resolutions are 16:10, so 1920 x 1200 is perfectly normal and since you already have a 1920 wide res to start with, the option to expand to 1920 x 1200 *should* show up as soon as the new monitor is connected and detected by the computer. If it does not, then you might indeed have to upgrade your video card IF you really want to use the max res. For example, my original resolution was 1024 x 768 (4:3) on my previous monitor. With the T260HD, I was able to change to 1600 x 1200 (also 4:3) which, on the T260HD, does have "black bars" on the side. I suspect it is simply because my video card is outdated that I cannot get the max res and so I should get one that definitely has widescreen capabilities, but it has not been that important lately so I've just not done it yet. I hope that helps! XD PS. Also, when you have the max res of a 16:10 screen, ie 1920 x 1200, you will always have "black bars" on the top and bottom of proper 1080 (or any 16:9) footage when displayed correctly. That can bother some ppl, so it depends on what you want to use the monitor for mainly, ie if you plan to watch a lot of shows on it or just for computer stuff. Altho of course, depending on your media player (on the comp) or when you are watching tv, you will also have the options to crop or zoom the picture which can fill the screen if you don't mind losing the edges as long as you can escape the "black bars". Just some food for thought ;P

I installed WinXP and you can extend the desktop with a utility provided by Intel. I have it connected to a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. The max resolution it supports is 1920x1080.

I am using a second monitor, a 1600 x 900, works great. But I checked the settings and that is the highest number available. Hope that helps

I couldn't say about the dell. I'm using it on a 42 inch 1080P TV as a monitor. I'm running Windows 7 with a settinng of 1920 x 1080. That is the highest setting allowed either by the device or windows that I see. Haven't had a problem yet

I believe that you should play with the resolution. I lowed my laptop resolution and increase the monitor's to its max.

I didn't hook up a laptop but I hooked up my roku to the HDMI slot it came in @ 720p I went to my roku settings and changed the setting to 1080p-try changing your laptop setting

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!

Yes, I used this adapter to connect a laptop to a Dell U2711 monitor and got 2560x1440resolution. But first, the HDMI port on the laptop has to support the high bandwidth needed, an older laptop of mine doesn't work. Second, I have to create a custom configuration, the laptop itself doesn't detect the max resolution.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

According to the document that was included, 1920x1080@60Hz is one of the supported resolutions, but I have not tested it since my PC does not have that resolution capability. I do not believe this unit will "up-convert" a non-HD signal to to 1080/720(i/p). I can tell you that I was pleased with the quality of the signal when I used it to display karaoke songs onto my 32" TV with my setting of resolution 1280x720@60Hz, true color 32bit, so I assume the quality would only improve if the source signal has a higher resolution. I hope this helps.

The resolution can go up 1440p with the DUAL DVI connection. Make sure you are using the correct cable. IT should have been included when you purchased the item. You need a Dual-DVI cable. A normal DVI cable does not work. Any graphics card with a Dual-DVI port should work.

Mine supports up to 1920x1080 which is standard for most new flat screen monitors and HDMI television.

I couldn't tell, my monitor doesn't support 1080p! In the end I sent it back and bought a 75ft VGA cable and a new 1080p monitor for the same price.
