Connecting HDMI or DVI devices
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI and
uncompressed digital video from a DVI device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP programme
material in digital from CEA-861-D compliant
consumer electronic devices (such as a set top box
and DVD player with HDMI and DVI output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i (50/60 Hz) and 1080p (24/50/60 Hz) high-
defi nition video signals, but will also accept and
display 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, and 720p (50/60 Hz)
and VGA (VESA 640 × 480 @ 60/72/75 Hz) signals.

HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface
•
HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
•
CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth
digital content protection, which is being
standardized for reception of high-defi nition
video signals. Because this is an evolving
technology, it is possible that some devices may
not operate properly with the TV.
•
Acceptable PC signal format:
•
S-VGA: VESA 800
5
600 @ 56/60/72/75 Hz
•
XGA: VESA 1024
5
768 @ 60/70/75 Hz
•
W-XGA: VESA 1280
5
768 @ 60/75 Hz
•
W-XGA: VESA 1360
5
768 @ 60 Hz
•
S-XGA: VESA 1280
5
1024 @ 60 Hz
However, these signal formats are converted to
match the number of pixels of the LCD panel.
Therefore, the TV may not display small text
properly.
If you connect this unit to your PC, the compressed
image is displayed in S-XGA mode, therefore the
picture quality may deteriorate and characters may
not be read.
