HDMI=1080P right?

I have a 1080p TV and i have hooked up an HDMI to the Apple TV. Do i need to waste more money on renting movies in HD to get the full HD experience? or can i buy a regular movie and it will be full HD already since i have it set to 1080p and an HDMI cable?
appreciate the help.

HD content on appletv is only available as movies rentals, and that is 720p.
movie purchases on the itunes store are SD only.
HDMI does not mean 1080p (appletv doesn't support 1080p anyway).
HDMI is merely a way of connecting a device that supports HD (720p, 1080i or 1080p).

Mac mini HDMI 1080p SUCCESS with Panasonic 50" TH-50PZ81B

I recently purchased a Panasonic TH-50PZ81B. This is a UK model with a built-in satellite ("Freesat") receiver, and displays full 1080p and uses a 1920 x 1080 native panel. I used to connect my Mac mini HTPC to a Sony 42" plasma by VGA, and the Panasonic has a VGA input which displays 1,368 x 768 out of the box - no SwitchResX. It's decent. But, I wanted the "full" 1080p so bought the Belkin DVI-HDMI cable. Like a lot of people I got the choice of either the big black bars all around, or enabling "overscan" in Displays which would fill the screen, but, well, overscan! I spent all morning playing with SwitchResX and it just wasn't working (and the instructions at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713 bothered me in that it seems to suggest you need to increase the resolution so it wouldn't be 1:1 pixel mapping). I tried to look at the service menu but it wasn't obvious what to do so I left it alone, and there is no manual picture adjustment like there was on my old Sony. Urgh.
But, by chance I noticed in the TV's Menu -> Settings menu on page 2 there is an option for Picture Overscan, which was turned on. I turned if off, and just like that got full 1080p 1:1 pixel mapping.
So, that's Mac mini with overscan ON. Use the great (weird) advice from Adam Nash to enable the Display menu bar item as seen here:
http://blog.adamnash.com/2008/01/24/yes-you-can-get-1080p-out-of-a-mac-mini/
It works - you have two identical-looking outputs but your TV will tell you one is 1080i and the other is 1080p.
On the TV settings go Menu -> Settings -> Picture Overscan and make sure it's OFF. Done!
I don't know if other Panasonic screens are similar but I can tell from the frustration on other posts - which I shared, believe me - that there are a lot of people with this issue wondering why SwitchResX is so non-intuitive etc. so I am hoping that for all those people who know how to use Google, this will show up in their searches.

I decided to post in the display forum because it was fine outputing via DVI-HDMI to a 1368*768 TV, and also fine via D-sub to the Full HD TV (although at 1368*768, but that's the limitation of the TV)
But thanks for your advice. I'll post there as well

MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

Hello,
I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

You probably want to post this in the MacBook Pro forum:

There is a sub forum just for displays, video out, and video accessories.

Samsung HDMI 1080p no longer works after 10.8.4

Has anyone else had a new problem with HDMI connection to their Samsung LN40B series TV failing to successfully work at 1080P since installing 10.8.4?
This is happening via mini display port ---> HDMI connection with both a MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13.
The 10.8.4 update has changed the video signal at 1080P so that my Samsung LN40B530P7NXZA no longer will accep the 1080P signal
It works fine under 10.8.3 at 1080P on the very same hardware and cabling. Booting back and forth between 10.8.3 and 10.8.4 definitely shows a problem when 10.8.4 tries to negotiate a 1080P connection.
Tweaking the signal with SwitchResX allows 1080P/60 to work under 10.8.4, but the natively supplied 1080P setting in the 10.8.4 display preference pane yields an unsupported mode error on the TV.
Reverting to 10.8.3 once more allows the 1080P resolution to function.
Interestingly, this isn't happening with all TV's. Another brand TV does fine at 1080P no matter if 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 is booted.
If you are using your mac to drive a Samsung TV at 1080P via HDMI, be sure to have a means of reverting back to 10.8.3 in case you run into this problem.

Sounds like we are having a similar problem. Mine is with an external display, hooked up to a rMBP, using a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor. Problemed was visable immediately after updating to 10.8.4

2010 Mac Mini HDMI 1080p output to Samsung B750

Hi all,
I just got the new Mac Mini. My primary reason for getting it was because it had an HDMI output. I've now hooked it up to my Samsung LCD via HDMI to HDMI and it automatically detected it as 1080p. The image was pristine!
However, the issue I am experiencing is quite irksome and basically defeats the purpose of having it as a HTPC. There is a severe delay between the movement of my mouse and the actual display of it on the screen. There is also audio/video syncing problems.
This problem does not occur when I have it hooked up to my original monitor via miniDP, so I'm assuming it must be a TV or Mac display issue when outputting at 1080p. Is there a specific setting that I must do to either the Mac or the TV?

I just bought a mac mini(2010) and had the same issue as coaster - mini to samsung P2270HD via HDMI gives a very bad picture quality. Took the mini back to the store and they reproduced the problem on the same monitor. Then the guy took a dvi cable and via HDMI-DVI adaptor connected it to the same monitor but on DVI input. Picture quality was fantastic.
Now why did that happen? Same HDMI port but different input to Monitor

T60 w/ Docking Station DVI - HDMI 1080p problems.

Hi,
Im currently running vista 32bit on a T60 with a docking station trying to externally display to a 1920x1080 LCD via the DVI port on the back of the docking station to the HDMI port on the LCD (Samsung N series 40").
The problem im having is when i set the resolution to 1920x1080 the output on the LCD is not crisp and there is a 1" black border around the whole screen. If you lower the resolution right down to 1024x 7xx (cant remember exactly what it is) it fills the screen and is crisp., but everything is just mega big..
I have the latest video drivers off the lenovo support page.
I also have a T43 running vista and it displays 1920x1080 via the DVI port on the docking station fine.
Has anybody seen this before and have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks, Cam

[SOLVED} ATI Radeon 4650 RV730 (HDMI) 1080p and Audio

Hi,
I am quite new to arch linux, however have used linux before (Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware and had a go at LFS). I have a Radeon HD 4650 connected via HDMI (DVI > HDMI) to my tv. (BEKO PANACHE 26" (Ubuntu said it is a BEKO-VJAZ1 32")), I have tried the flgrx driver in ubuntu but could only get 1080i at 25hz, however in windows i had 1080p at 60 with overscan, which i then scaled down. In ubuntu i had audio as well. I tried using the x386-video-ati and radeonhd. I got a black screen with radeonhd and ati i could only get 1920x1080 at 25hz (1080i) (With about -5% overscan). However in arch linux i am not getting any look. My TV also supports VGA, however i can't get into a tty as i get out of range, when INIT starts. Basicly my tv reports a incorrect EDID and the ati drivers only give me 1080i. I think i might need a custom modeline but dont know where to start.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*ion
[SOLVED\EDIT]
*facepalms at my stupidness*
I reinstalled arch linux and then installed XFCE. After that i went onto the AUR and downloaded catalyst-test and libcatalyst32. I then did a makepkg -s --asroot on both and when i went back into XFCE, after creating a xorg with (Xorg --configure and added flgrx to the Driver line) I went into the Catalyst Control Center (sudo amdcccle) (or su root | amdcccle) and went into the section called DTV (1) and went to the 2nd tab and clicked the check box next to 1080p at 50hz (PAL) and then clicked apply. After that i went into the scaling options and set GPU Scaling, and then on the dropdown i selected Aspect Ratio. After that i clicked apply and moved the slider for overscan 1 towards underscan. I then clicked ok, and to get the catalyst to save to the Xorg i had to go to Settings -> Display settings and change the resoloution to any one there, and then back to 1920x1080. Then i clicked apply which saved to my xorg.
Sound worked automaticly.

What shall I do next? I am a real rookie.

My HDMI 1080p LCD keeps disconnecting whenever it switches input or turns off

I've connected a new HD LCD to my Intel iMac (Model 10,1) running 10.6.7. I'm facing the problem that whenever I switch inputs in the TV to another HDMI input, or turn the power off to the TV, the iMac things it's been disconnected, and reverts back to only the single iMac monitor. Is there anything I can do to prevent this, so that the iMac thinks that it's on all the time? I've currently got a Mini-DisplayPort to DVI connector, and a DVI to HDMI cable plugged in to the TV. Could this be the issue? If I invest in the Mini Displayport to HDMI directly, will that help? Before I spend on that I'd like to make sure that will help.
Any thoughts?

The miniDisplayPort-to-HMDI converter I've got is this one from Amazon: Kanex iAdapt MDPHDMIV2 HDMI V2 - Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
It supports audio as well on my 21.5" iMac. I use it to watch iTunes HD movies, and Blu-ray movies as well when switching over to Windows in Bootcamp.

Premiere Pro with Matrox02 mini--I don't need separate graphics card, just an HDMI monitor, right? with 1-to-1 pixel ratio?

Just confirming--using mac and Premiere--and Matrox--but ordered an NV card too--with all the hullaballoo regarding Premiere specs... They never mentioned Matrox (to my knowlege) as a 'graphics card'--I guess, because it is!?!

Mavericks is designed to use as much RAM as possible. Free RAM is wasted RAM... it's RAM that's not working for you, not doing anything helpful. Seeing your RAM full is not an indication that there is a problem. Seeing your memory pressure graph spike would be.

You should probably try to weed some of that out, if possible, or at least make sure it's all updated and compatible with Mavericks.

Is it possible to connect Apple TV to Marantz SR8001 via HDMI?

Video won't display, says there's no source. I updated my Apple TV software to the latest version, this setup was never tested through the previous version.
I'm using Apple's HDMI cable so that's not an issue.
The device connects directly to my TV's HDMI (1080p), so that's not an issue.
Optical out on the Apple TV to Optical in on my receiver works fine, so that's not an issue.
I have the correct input selected on the receiver, so that's not the problem.
The HDMI input on the reciever is functional for AUDIO (tested using component Y/Cb/Cr and HDMI from Blu-Ray DVD player), just not video from my Apple TV, but receiving audio/video directly from the Apple TV to the TV (bypassing the receiver) works perfectly.
So the HDMI cable works, the Optical Audio works through the receiver, but the video signal IN from the Apple TV (3rd gen) to the receiver via HDMI gets no signal detected. Is this due to the HDCP handshake not resolving properly? I can't even see the menus so I don't think that should interfere.
While I am capable of switching between multiple inputs and outputs, my goal is to channel all devices through the receiver (that's what receivers are for) to the Home Theater Audio (7.1 surround) and Video (TV). All my other devices work perfectly (even my old VCR upscales through the receiver). Watching old TV reruns through Netflix in 120hz is a little disconcerting (so clear it looks live action) but fun.
I notice the resolutions available on the Apple TV only goes up to 1080p 60hz. My TV can handle 120hz but that's not a game breaker.
Any solutions are appreciated. If I need to update or backdate my Apple TV/firmware/software or contact Marantz for a firmware update specific to Apple TV I suppose I can do those things. It's just irritating when I'm so used to my Apple products not being picky and complicated and suddenly something doesn't work.
Thanks!

Searching the forums for the answer revealed nothing. Posting the question above revealed a similar question here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7144642#7144642
The selected "best answer" was not helpful to me. The "reset HDMI" answer (the last one is different than the two before it), was helpful.
Also after resetting my HDMI sequence in the receiver (as per Marantz suggestion in the linked posted comment), I switched from Component Y/Cb/Cr output to HDMI output to TV.
All is fine now. Hope this answer helps someone else, otherwise I'd have just deleted my question.

X3100 and 1080p via VGA

How can it be that the DELL Latitude D630 I got from work can output glorious 1080p on my Samsung FullHD LCD-TV via VGA, whereas my new Macbook 2.4 cannot? They both have the same video adapter (Intel GMA X3100)... Apple: can we still say "It just works" ?!?!

In other posts people often talk about installing softwares like SwitchresX. I do not like that... Why should I buy an additional software to make something as basic as connecting a laptop to an external monitor?
I have even read of people that have installed Vista on their Macbook and then got 1080p right away, while still not being able to get it in Mac OS with exactly the same equipment... I am a bit annoyed by this situation
Any help will be much appreciated!

Connecting 2560x1440 screen to a U410 over HDMI

Hi, Im a new owner of U410 IdeaPad.
I bought this machine with the intention to hook it up to a WQHD (2560x1440) screen.
The screen I intend to get has no limitation on being fed over HDMI with this resolution (supports 1.4 HDMI).
What I have found out is that I might have a problem with the machine not supporting this resolution over HDMI.
My question is whether U410 with its dedicated Nvidia 610M (in addition to HD4000) sitting on Intels HM77 chipset will allow me to output WQHD resolution over the HDMI, or at least wether this HDMI connection is of 1.4 version.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply
can you reference me to the source/s which confirm the 1.4 support (I'm a bit uptight about it since I am going to order the screen online without the option to return so I don't want to find myself owning a 27" HD-TV instead of a WQHD screen).
There is apparently an issue with HDMI and above 1080 resolutions, a few manufacturers (of both chipsets and monitors) made a bad assumption that HDMI = 1080p for the home user even though the interface can support more then that but they capped it at 1080.
For example
http://communities.intel.com/thread/30360
http://forum.notebookreview.com/hardware-components-aftermarket-upgrades/633598-dell-u2711-hdmi-2560...
- with wifi I had no problem what so ever (used both at home and in public). its manufacture date 06/06/12

Help with hdmi

I just bought a 39 inch insignia hdmi 1080p LCD. What I want to ask if there is a good hdmi selector so I can hook up my PS3 and XBOX360 and get the full 1080p. It only had one output for the hdmi.

any HDMI selector will work. There is not one that supports 1080i or 720p and another that supports 720p/1080i/1080p. All it is doing is passing the signal through.

Hdmi sound issue

I had to buy an Gefen HDMI Detective plus for my previous 2010 MacMini server with Snow Leopard in order to avoid the reseting of the audio output to the internal speakers every time I changed the video output from TV to projector or shutting down the TV set just to listen to music.
But I have the same issue with my brand-new 2011 MacMini Server with Lion OS, and the Detective Plus seems not working.
Again, I am starting to re-initiate the macmini when I want to change devices.
Has any one had the same issue?
