1080p HDMI: Does this mean that it converts it to 1080i or 720p?

The native resolution of this tv is 720p so everthing gets converted to this resolution (1080p, 1080i, 525, etc.) when displayed.

change settings in xbox 360 to display 1080i. though 720p is probably better.

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.

The HDMI selector switch on here toggles between the ports, yes, BUT one port is for 1080i and the other is 1080p. The other switch controls output to either VGA or Component. This is not a HDMI switcher, but a converter. If you happen to have one of each input, then perhaps you could use it as a selector switch.

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.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

What do you have attached to hdmi 1 . I have a Dish 722 receiver which is a 1080 p device and the tv operates at 1080 p. I also have a Roku unit on Hdmi 2 and it also operates at 1080. I suspect your device on HDMI 1 is not capable or set for 1080

It supports 1080p INPUT. but it's native resolution is on 1280X800 so 720p is the best you are going to get.

yes it does, everything you input goes through the hdmi and is upconverted to 1080p

N Singh, or anyone who is technical :) What is the practical significance of it having HDMI 1.2 vs. HDMI 1.3? Am I losing anything with HDMI 1.2?

Most likely yes. Not sure what resolution you are sending from the System, but it for sure works with 1080p and 1080i signals I have been using them for.

the product description says it has 2 hdmi inputs with 1 output with 1080p passthru

The newer STR-DH510 does not upconvert non-HDMI or non-HD signals, so I assume this one does not either. The STR-DH720 does upconvert to 1080i, and I assume more expensive models do as well. Hope it helps (you and others)

Yes. Set the player to output at 1080i. As you stated, your tv will dowconvert the signal to its native resolution of 720p.This is the setup I use and it works perfectly.

The picture displayed on the screen is in 1080P. The HDMI ports are inputs for video cameras, dvd's, and game consoles, etc.

Under compare item it states it's a 720 but then below it states it is a 1080p.

The S550 should be set to the highest resolution capability of your HDTV, which, as you said, is 1080P (HDMI, 1080i if you use the component outputs). Some people actually prefer 1080i through HDMI as it may look smoother, but it's largely a matter of the user's preference. At least one can switch between the two.
