Does HDMI support the 16:10 aspect? My computer only has HDMI and VGA connections, no DisplayPort. Will I have letterbox only when I watch a movie?

All versions of HDMI support 1920 x 1200 resolution. Your computer should be able to use every pixel.

Most HDMI systems can't display 2560x1440. (Some very new ones can, but Macs for example can't.) Displayport is a more reliable way to get full res. For a mac, get a cable that goes from thunderbolt/mini-displayport on one end and full-sized displayport on the other end. Mine only came with a DVI cable.

1600x900 on the machine screen itself BUT if you connect it to a 1920x1080p monitor or tv through micro hdmi port on the right... it will adjust to 1080P on that monitor/tv !!! That was a surprise for me.

I use a displayport cable for the best quality. When reduced to 1920x1080 it still takes up the whole screen and somewhat stretched the image out. I dont think its possible to put black bars on the side

So while HD4000 is more than capable of displaying 2560x1440 the screen doesn't use the faster implementation of HDMI. This means that you can only display full resolution at 30HTz instead of the standard 60. From experience this feels very fuzzy and probably not worth the trouble. 1080P runs fine on HDMI but to get full res you need either dual-dvi or displayport. EDIT: After doing some reading I realized I gave some incorrect data. The screen is speced to be able to run HDMI1.4 which is good enough to run full resolution. If you are using a computer with HDMI1.3 you will be stuck at 30HTz like I explained above.

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).

Greetings, You have 3 options for video output: HDMI, DVI or VGA (VGA will require the use of a DVI-to-VGA adapter). Best regards, MITXPC

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

No HDMI cable in my box, just DisplayPort and DVI. I used my own HDMI cable with an HP laptop and have it working fine at 2560x1440. HDMI is not limited to 1080 as one reply states.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

Unfortunately, I can't answer the first question. The monitor accepts HDMI and VGA. VGA is the most common video hookup for about the last decade. Check you video outports first. The monitor is excellent, I have no complaints with appearance, speed, picture quality, or ease of set up. Hope this helps.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

I haven't seen that, I'm not sure why. Maybe due to the fact that many laptops nowadays have HDMI or DisplayPort. You could just get an adapter for your VGA or DVI, whichever you've got. Good chance you wont be able to get 1080 from it though. There are a lot of USB to HDMI external adapters, that might be the simplest solution for you.

my machine has one HDMI port. the machine came with windows 8, but video was jumpy. So i got rid of windows 8 and installed windows 7. Video works perfectly (from my HDMI to my TV).

Yes, in my application the 16:9 screen is filled. I take the VGA output of a security DVR and use the Etekcity to input the HDMI of a 1080p 52" Samsund LCD TV. Hope this helps. jp
