Why doesnt this work with HDMI? I was going to buy this but the lack of HDMI is making me think otherwise. I just ordered a brand new top of the line 60" 1080p HD/3D plasma and to hook that up with 1080i component imput doesnt seem right for my gaming. Why doesnt this work with HDMI?

Agreeing with David. The only drawback I get is a VERY slight decrease in the viewing quality on the TV, thus games are still very playable. It does not affect the quality of the recorded video at all.On the flipside, if you own a big TV that's connected to a game console through HDMI and there is input lag, hooking up the Hauppauge to the TV's components and the console will eliminate that input lag.

The trouble with recording from HDMI is a new technology that can be incorperated into it that goes by the acronym "HDCP" aka "High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection". I'm not an expert on the technology I'm just aware of its existence. The technology was specifically designed to protect content between two systems such as a Blueray player and a HD TV from being captured or copied. The PS3 definitly is HDCP enabled and I believe the Xbox 360 is as well. I don't believe this feature can be turned off at least not without hacking the system. A google search of HDCP should give you a little more information.

I only have a old 40 inch sony bravia and component looks fine. I really don't think it'll bother you when you're gaming. At least until your unit starts Hulking out, going paperless or ninja turtle.

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).

I had the same problem. I hooked up the rca to see the screen with rca selected on the xbox cable and maybe under settings too in a menu. Then back to componet and turn the xbox on and off with componet. Worked ever since. I have an old xbox 360 with no hdmi so not sure if the new ones have the selector on the connection when it goes into the xbox, but basically after switchin back and forth the componet worked and no problems since.

I asked nvidea about their lack of updates on their compatability list, and if newer versions of hdtv's were compatable. The guy stated firmly that if hdtv is not on compatability list, it will not work. I got no answer why they don't update list for newer tv's.

don't use hdmi. use mini displayport ("Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" is like $5 on amazon) to display 2560 x 1080 perfectly.

I'm having the exact same problem when trying 1080p. It lets me go to 144hz when not in HD though.

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?

As someone else posted make sure you are using the Dual Link cable that came with your monitor it will allow you to use it at 144hz.. don't use a HDMI if you want high Hz if you have nvidia graphics card open up your nvidia control panel and goto display, screen resolution and set your refresh rate higher I don't own amd so I cant tell you what to click on in the catalyst control center to set it up but google can and if anything make sure to use vsync if your getting tearing but that's usually caused by low hz so get the dual link cable installed without any splitters or adapters and you should be fine As someone else posted make sure you are using the Dual Link cable that came with your monitor it will allow you to use it at 144hz.. don't use a HDMI if you want high Hz if you have nvidia graphics card open up your nvidia control panel and goto display, screen resolution and set your refresh rate higher I don't own amd so I cant tell you what to click on in the catalyst control center to set it up but google can and if anything make sure to use vsync if your getting tearing but that's usually caused by low hz so get the dual link cable installed without any splitters or adapters and you... » Read More As someone else posted make sure you are using the Dual Link cable that came with your monitor it will allow you to use it at 144hz.. don't use a HDMI if you want high Hz if you have nvidia graphics card open up your nvidia control panel and goto display, screen resolution and set your refresh rate higher I don't own amd so I cant tell you what to click on in the catalyst control center to set it up but google can and if anything make sure to use vsync if your getting tearing but that's usually caused by low hz so get the dual link cable installed without any splitters or adapters and you should be fine « Show Less

Dude, I've been running my 360 on this. And what can I tell you, it's everything that's on paper, and then some... I've been running games at 720p and 1080i and it's just Liquid Crystal CLEAR. So far, no, it does not introduce any lag. I'm still waiting for the 1080p games that aren't out yet. I expect to be blown away.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

My 606 is just now experiencing some HDMI swiching problems. From what I understand, that has been corrected, and I am expecting (crossed fingers) that Santa brings me a new shiny 608 for Christmas. I wouldn't have too many worries.

hi thank for the replyWhat I meant was this card specificallyBecause I currently have a card that does not pass audio via HDMI, only video.So I have the HDMI + an audio source connected to my TV right now.I just want to use the HDMI cable for both audio and video.I just wanted to be sure this card does indeed pass video as well as audio.Thanks

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck!

Oddly enough, I think the HD output is limited to 1080i thru component connections because of legal reasons, See this article http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/21/xbox-360-hd-dvd-playback-maximum-1080i-via-component-1080p-vga/ Evidentially using a VGA (computer monitor style) cable will send the full 1080p. I have the LNT4069FX, but have not connected it to my xbox.

my westington house display is messing up. the ps3 hdmi handshake is all messed up but my westington house display also has a vga port if i connect this cable to my ps3 (hdmi device) to the display via VGA (1080p) device will it in turn be like connecting a normal hdmi to and hdmi setup. i just want to watch and play ps3 on my 1080p display in 1080p. im pretty sure im reading the description of the cable right but just want to be sure.P.S. dont buy westington displays cheap price for a bad product.

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.
