Compability with TV - does anyone have this TV? Hi,I have a Philips 60pw9363 480p/1080i tv, and the HD-A1 will not output a legible image via the DVI input with HDMI/DVI adapter. Here's what I seehttp://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n72/dtcarson/1080iDVI2.jpgI sent the HDA1 in for service and they did a 'software restore' but that didn't help.Does anyone have this TV, and can use the HDA1 to see 1080i via the DVI input?I would like some confirmation, positive or negative, to see where the problem is.Anyway, if anyone cares, I had Best Buy come out under the PSP and replace the DVI board in my tv--all is well now.

Good to hear it was just your TV, Well maybe not so good for you, at least the 500 dollar player works perfectly.

I actually have this problem as well.. I talked to a repair guy and he said the board would cost around $130. I opened up the back of the TV and it seems pretty easy to replace.

I have the same tv "60pw9363" and the same problem with the dvi input. It looks just like your picture.How much did it cost you for the dvi board? I had never used the dvi input and I'd bet it never worked...

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.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

I have an HD TV LCD 1080p that is working well with my Toshiba A-35, that outputs in HDMI 1.3. I am considering buying the Oppo 980H for its conversion capabilities. The Oppo outputs in HDMI 1.2. Are HDMI 1.2 and 1.3 mutually compatible? Will the Oppo's output over HDMI 1.2 work as well as HDMI 1.3?

==================>>BRiT says: The HD-A30 does 1080p output. The HD-A3 is the one that only does 1080i. <<==================Thanks BRiT, ... Your Correct, ... I corrected my post above!!!

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

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.

Not 100% sure about AC3 format (or any other to be honest) I'm not as tech savvy as I once was. With that being said, I had no issues with converting the output from my Panasonic 3D plasma that I bought last year nor with my original Xbox 360 (not slimline). I am however pretty sure that the optical output is in a standard format unlike the HDMI output that has gone through several revisions where older cables aren't capable of transmitting a 3D signal as an example. The biggest question would be if the device with RCA inputs is capable of decoding the AC3 signal. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, Amazon and most vendors I've felt with have been very good with returns. I would recommend asking the seller if they're willing to take it it back if it doesn't decode properly.

As others have mentioned this particular model "G276HL Dbd" has only VGA and DVI and there are no on board speakers or an HDMI. I use this as my main computer monitor and for watching an occasional TV show or movie on the internet. They do make HDMI to DVI adapters however as HDMI is backwards compatible with high end DVI devices. I've coupled this set up with a pair of Logitech speakers X-140 2.0 and I love the monitor and sound especially in this price range. Perhaps you're looking for something a lot higher end, but for the cost this is a very impressive set up, but without the bells and whistles that will be found on (Usually) if not considerably higher priced units.

I can't say whether this TV model is being fazed out. It will work fine after the switch to digital TV. My guess is that it does not have an HDMI port because there's no reason for it to have one. What would you use the HDMI port for? It already has a DVD player built-in. It's so small you wouldn't want to spend $200+ to connect a Blu-Ray Player to it, or a home theater system. Regular cable doesn't require HDMI (though HD Cable might, but are you going to pay to rent a Digital Cable Box for a tiny TV?).

I have used a 42" Visio TV which works very well. I've also used the Adafruit 3.5" TFT Touch Screen display that connects to the GPIO. It work works quite well. I haven't been able to get a VGA adapter to work with my HP 1280 X 1024 monitor yet though. I'm trying various configuration changes, but have had no success yet. I haven't tried composite video yet, but intend to give it a go soon.

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

Hi Michael...I'm over here in Saudi Arabia. I have a 3 year old 50" widescreen Samsung LCD with DVI input (through the component in it will play 720p and 1080i). You seem to be very knowledgable and my question to you is....If I buy the Toshiba HD and get the HDMI to DVI adapter do you think I will be able to watch HD on this TV????.....Anyone??? I do have a Samsung 32" widescreen HDTV ready in the bedroom so I will be able to use it there if it doesn't work on the other one downstairs.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR
