Can you force this to output at 720p? I need this to output 720p and NOT 1080p. If so, how do you switch it to 720p? I don't see a switch for that.

I don't think this switch can be adjusted at all. There was not evident way to configure it, so I don't think it can be set to 720p.

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

This display will not do 1080p. You can watch 1080p movies, iyour video player will scale them but it is a 720p display. Movies, and games, still look great.

The device has 2 options, 1 is 1080p, the other is 720p. So it is up to you to choose.

If i'm correct most of the XBOX360 games are in 720p anyways but some can be played at 1080p. if your HDTV goes to 720p then hook up through HDMI and enjoy full hd on your TV. I'm waiting for the same model tv. whatever your max resolution is and you set it on the XBOX settings to match then depending on the game, thats what you'll get.

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.

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

Max is 1080p for capture. I've never used the device for output except to test it, and the PRO REZ 720P file I used was fine.

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

According to the document that was included, 1920x1080@60Hz is one of the supported resolutions, but I have not tested it since my PC does not have that resolution capability. I do not believe this unit will "up-convert" a non-HD signal to to 1080/720(i/p). I can tell you that I was pleased with the quality of the signal when I used it to display karaoke songs onto my 32" TV with my setting of resolution 1280x720@60Hz, true color 32bit, so I assume the quality would only improve if the source signal has a higher resolution. I hope this helps.

It does not change the output to be 720p. It only converts the signal to HDMI. The quality is the same as a regular component cable.

I bought this tv last week and picked up an HDMI cable as well. For some reason I can't get the TV to show videos at 120hz. Does anyone know if the HDMI cable influences that or how to switch it on the TV?

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

Yeah, use 720p, as 1080i at best would look the same, and would probably look worse. The 360 usually renders internally at 720p (sometimes lower), and just upsamples it to hit 1080i-and then the TV would have to downsample it back to 720p, so probably there's going to be a loss of quality there...or at least it would be pretty silly to do that!

I run mine about the same distance. I too had issues until I figured out my receiver was 1080p and my TV was 720p. Turned on 720p only and bingo. Works great! Maybe check your wireing.

Regularly it records in 30 fps when resolution is set to 1080p. If you set it to 720p the frame rate will go up to 60fps. Try that. Unless there is something wrong with your unit.

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.
