Can my existing HDMI 1.x devices be upgraded with HDMI 2.0 features?Currently, there are no provisions for doing such an upgrade. Because of the new enhanced feature set, any such conversion would require hardware and/or firmware upgrades. If there are such conversions, it would come from the manufacturer. Sony has upgraded the firmware on this receiver already with new features, but there is no way to know if this receiver has the hardware capability to do HDMI 2.0 or if Sony would support such an upgrade. If I had to guess I would say no. Sony would rather sell you a newer model. Any answer here is just a guess until Sony releases additional info. Contact Sony directly...

No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2. There is an Onkyo, but even it only has 1 port dedicated to it. Luckly right now there isn't very much content that supports HDCP 2.2. but it will become a problem later if you trying to future proof your system. They will be able to update the HDMI firmware but the hdcp is not backwards compatible due that the current hardware was not designed for it yet. Hope that helps.

You won't lose anything. I did replace my receiver with one that supports HDMI 1.4 to improve the video quality for the Xbox one. When HDMI 2 is released thats when you'll really want to replace your receiver for 4k content (and the included one connect box).

Hi Emanuele, yes it supports HDMI 2.0 which increases bandwidth from 10.2 Gbps to 18 Gbps.

Doubt it. Unless these next gen consoles have component plug-ins EXACTLY like their older counterparts, then no. There isn't even an hdmi option.

I don't think standard on this model. This is a very low end product. Not conducive to upgrades. I was gonna suggest add in video card but I don't belive this machine has any computer slots for add in. The case is very deceptive to that. Would look at upgraded model if you haven't purchased yet. Then probably would have hdmi built in. HDMI is nearly automatic. Then select TV input to the hdmi port and walaaa. Good luck.

The reality is tricky. The ports are HDMI 2.0, but only in that they support 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. The display itself is only capable of 4:4:0 (which isn't a valid HDMI subsampling mode), so the higher bandwidth mode of HDMI2 is not actually used (or supported) and you're stuck with half-resolution chroma (in both X and Y) with your 4k luminance. That's fine for games and movies, but bad for sharp, colored text and drawings.

If you Google this question, the key answer that tends to come up is that it is not HDMI 2.0 compatible out of the box but will be in Sep 2014 when LG creates a separate hardware add-on. I've read that this could be anywhere from $100-$400 extra. Can from LG anyone confirm this?

Hi Robert,In reponse to your Inquiry, I would like to inform that HDMI input is available in that item - Aiden

I am not 100% sure, but the connection for HDMI 1.0 and 1.1 are the same. That means that the control is from software. I would assume that a software update can be patched to the tv to upgrade it to the 1.1 spec.

Yes it supports the HDMI resolutions. And the default output setting is 720P.

Yes, but the device doesn't do any scaling. So your HDMI device must be pushing a 1080i signal.

No quality improment. It just very much do the conversion so you can use hdmi port

thanks for your response.Do you (or anyone with a good understanding of this) think it's worth spending $50 to upgrade from what I currently have?) I purchased the samsung hd monitor and thought the upgrade would provide better video.any thoughts?

No, the on-board graphics only support VGA output. For HDMI, you would need to purchase a dedicated GPU.

No they are HDMI 1.4 which supports 4K up to 30FPS. The new HDMI 2.0 specification was just ratified September 4th 2013. This receiver has been out for about 9 months, released before the 4K specification was completed.
