I thought the video portion of HDMI was pretty much equivalent to single data link DVI (modulo that HDMI requires HDCP to be supported by displays, and DVI does not), and a 1920x1200 LCD driven by a computer monitor at significantly more than 24fps works just fine on single data link DVI...  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

My guess would be that the I/O standard doesn't quite know how to treat data flagged as 1080p along with the higher amount of data. Nevertheless, that's just one of the issues with the current HDMI standard. Basically this is another example of that stinking "good enough to get by" model in business. These clowns know full well what a HDTV set is supposed to do, but they don't deliver. Yeah sure, you can have a 1080p resolution HDTV monitor double as a monitor for your computer system, but damned near every one of them is limited to some stupid, puny desktop setting like 1024 X 768. What the hell is that? If they can't deliver a computer monitor function at full 1920 X 1080 then why bother at all? "Good enough" is why. They water down the quality and sluff off a bunch of other shit and then still try to sell it like its absolutely great. Blah. There's a lot of other things I can be spending money on besides new HDTV gear. And until the laundry list of complaints I have with the product are finally solved I'll just do that.  |  IP: Logged
