Hello, If your video card has a dvi port, then get a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Once everything is hooked up, set your video resolution to as high as you can go and still get a picture. You should be able to get the max res of your TV, but there's a chance of overscan (maybe a more pwoerful videocard like the 8800 gt should help). See: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic341190.html

No. The only thing you can choose is the video format... 1080 or 720, and some other video quality features.

those converter boxes to get one that does 1080p with decent quality and without adding a bunch of input lag... you might as well get a new xboxwhy a TV manufacturer would put a VGA input on a 1080p TV and not support 1920x1080 through that VGA input i'll never know

I have connected a pc to it. It does, in fact, detect and display "1080p". I was pleasantly surprised. The televisions own info tab actually confirms input signal as "1080P". I got this gem for $250 to boot! Great set, great tuner, intuitive, and light.

I got out my Xbox 360 component cable and decided to check it out so I could answer your question and because I was curious, too. No, it does not support 1080p over the component video input. It should still look good at 1080i and it does allow the option of disabling over-scan on 1080i just like it does on 1080p. By the way, I actually had the Xbox 360 configured for 1080p on the component connection for a different device that does support 1080p and had to switch the cable off of HD to get picture so that I could figure out how to navigate to the screen mode option to take it off 1080p. I'd previously found that it does not support 1080p over the VGA input either. If you just must have 1080p with your existing Xbox 360, you could try a component to HDMI or VGA to HDMI converter box (I'd only trust a converter box to work right, not those converter cables some sell for those conversions). Be sure it either says it supports 1080p or 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (probably more applicable for VGA to HDMI) for input and output, as some don't support 1080p output.

See if you can lower the resolution on the box to no more than 1080i/720p before hooking it up to the converter.

The maximum resolution on this is 1080p, contrary to the little blurb that they have on the product page. I bought this solely because I hoped to connect my gaming PC (which has Mini DisplayPort 1.2 which can support full 4k at 60hz) to my 4k TV (Which has HDMI 2.0). Through this adapter my PC can only see my TV as a 1080p display.

Does anyone know how to switch from 1080p to 720 my box doesnt allow oit for some reason... This thing needs a manual.

I had an overscan problem with this set as well with PC to HDMI and the soulution was using the VGA PC input. I know HDMI sounds like a better choice but in this case it is not. With the HDMI port I was only getting something like 1768 x 992 resolution and text was a TINY bit blurred. But with the VGA input I'm getting tne full 1920 x 1080 resolution with no overscan and the images it produces are clearer. Try for yourself!

Unless a monitor has a TV tuner I don't see how (or why) it would have HDCP support. This technology would be in the PC itself, not the monitor.

I use it in 720 and, for my purposes (golf swing analysis), it is more than enough. I believe that you can still use 1080 but have not tried that as 720 is more than enough for my purposes. Could send a link to youtube but I believe that would be erased.

Depends on A/V from unit source TV Show/Movie/music, etc. The unit will send 1080P video if selected and up to 5.1 sound, again if selected. Unit has many, many options.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

You cannot manually switch. You want 1080p but will get whatever the program in being broacast in.

Yes its 1080p, and its wired only. I've only had issues with mine playing Blue-rays even after sending it out for service.

Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

Yes...1080p simply means that this Blu-Ray player can output up to 1080p...all other HD resolutions (780p/1080i/1080p) can be output by this machine.
