Will this cable improve the color on a 1080p plasma?

No, this cable is designed for 4K upscaling from a 1080p or 720p source running at 24Hz. It will only slightly improve 1080p and depending on your source probably degrade the image quality. Unless you have a 4K tv, I don't recommend this cable. The color capabilities of your tv are set in stone and only the source can be adjusted.

It sure did for me on my Panny VT50. Colors are a lot more vivid and true. Great picture! P.S. I've got 3 cables.

I did not notice a difference- as matter of fact, I got rid of it after Seiki sent me a replacement and replacement didn't work. Save your money.

It makes all this video says : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R2GdD94jTo It doesn't improve the color ( It depends what kind of tv you have . I think a Plasma is better than any other technology ( except : OLED ) if we talk about color gamut . The Seiki cable Works better in a 4k Tv ( just don't forget to set your BD in 1080 p and cable box in 720 p ) . Otherwise it won't work and it could turn the screen bluish from time to time . Salu2

Yes it should. Even though you are not upconverting to 4k, the 1080p display should be enhanced in detail and color. The only display not upconverted or enhanced is 1080i.

Hello, Unfortunately, this cable will NOT improve the color on a 1080p plasma. This cable is specifically used for the Ultra HD 4K set. I hope this helps. PS, This article can provide a decent read on this topic as well. http://www.cnet.com/news/three-tv-improvements-more-worthwhile-than-ultra-hd-4k/ BY the way, I like the Ultra HD 4K set even though this article says otherwise.

The color is really crisp, just make sure to have latest drivers for your graphics and default any color options in their settings. Then fine-tune from there.

My monitors are running at 1600x900 with this cable and no issues. I have not tried to go any higher, however I think the cable will support that resolution. As the old saying goes, copper wire is just that -- copper wire.

The cable worked for my Blu Ray player but I ended up with a lot of flickers in the picture. and will it support 3D I'm not sure about that you might have to scroll through the reviews to find that out.

As long as your TV has the appropriate connection, yes. Depending on your OS and video card, it might be fairly automatic (auto-detect), or you may have to go into your "display properties" and make some changes.It's a decent cable - worked like a charm the first couple of months I had it. But at some point I started seeing static on my screen and realized it was the cable going bad. It was treated with kid gloves so all I can point to is the price, i.e. you get what you pay for. I'm waiting to see if the AmazonBasics warranty applies.

Check the settings on your set top (cable/satellite) box. I know the Scientific Atlanta boxes from Time Warner have a setting to control this color.

I have had no problem with the color how ever I have composite/S-video to HDMI.

No. You might want to play with the settings. I have mine set on Vivid. I am assuming you had a good signal before. I would try regular HDMI cables. I tried 4k HDMI cable through my cable box and got a good picture but sound problems.

If your plasma tv has 3d capability yes. If your tv doesn't have the ability for you to switch from 2d to 3d then no.

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

I tested the cable with my ps3 and sharp aquos 60" before putting it in the wall. I was able to get 1080p signal just fine. I can't speak to 3D.

I am not sure if the questioner clarified what is being attempted. I have not seen a Plasma monitor in quite a while, which leads me to believe it is an older unit purchased used. To clarify, if your computer has HDMI out, and your plasma monitor does not have HDMI and only VGA capability for the video into it that you are trying to use, then this cable should work for you. If your computer only has VGA, then the other posters with answers are providing the correct information for you. PC/HDMI out -> TV/VGA in = works. PC/VGA out -> TV/HDMI in = not work.

I think it will upconvert any video source to 1080p. I am reading the info and I have bought it from amazon, but I haven't receive it yet.It won't improve the image as long as you don't have a good video source like HDMI. HDMI and component cables provide up to 1080i resolution (similar to 720p). Blue ray and PS3 are the only source with pure 1080p.Just make sure your TV supports 1080p, otherwise it won't make any difference.

No. Yellow is for composite video, and the red and white are for stereo sound. Composite is not an HD video format, and would require some other up-converting hardware to be changeable to HDMI. Do not confuse composite video with the red, green, and blue component HD video (sometimes also called YPbPr), which actually calls for a much higher-quality cable to reduce noise (static) for HD video connections.

Haven't tried it but doubtful. It states in the description that it supports up to 1920x1200:For Use with Computers, Blu-Ray Players, and Game ConsolesThis cable offers optimal support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and is intended to connect computers and other source components with HDMI outputs--such as Blu-Ray players or Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 game consoles--to DVI-equipped televisions or monitors.

That makes sense. As much as I love the Samsung plasmas for superior motion, picture quality, colors, and blacks -- for movies and hi-def TV, even in 768P -- I would still get a 1080p LCD if I were going to use it regularly as a monitor for a computer. Just be sure whatever LCD you do buy supports HD monitor display from a computer -- and via a type of connection that your computer has. Also be sure it does allow the display to be shown in different sizes and does not stick on 4:3 as my LCD does. You will want versatility.

As long as your monitor supports VGA then it will output whatever your video card can support then yes it should output to a 1080 resolution with that cable I am selling
