V1S HDMI Version?

Anyone know if we can expect the V1S to support HDMI 1.3? Or is it so that the HDMI-version can be software-updated anyway?

 

I'm not sure which version does it have but you can connect ur laptop to your hdtv with HDCP certified cable.

By using Nvidia control you can configure an out put to your HDTV. it'll take some time to configure and explore the new menu gui of Nvidia.

 

What I want to know is if it can support 2560 x 1600 resolution.

 

Its very intresting what kind of HDMI has V1s. Maybe some owners of v1s could somehow find this out? Here you can find all information about HDMI.
It would be great if V1s supports at least HDMI 1.2(HDMI 1.1 doesnt support multichannel audio)

Thanks!

Sorry for my English

 

What do I need to do to find this out for you?

 

i hooked mine up to my jvc HD-ILA 61inch set and it worked flawless, automatically recognized that the tv's native res was 1080p...there was a little underscan comin but a couple changes to the nvidia control panel and all was well...

 

Thanks, for the response

I would like to know does it support 5.1 or 7.1 audio?

 

i dont know for sure since the source wasnt 5.1 ill try to run a dvd tonite if i get a chance, i dont have an HDMI capable receiver at home just component, so i have to rearrange some cables for optical out of the tv to my receiver... but ill give it a go, i will aslo check the SPIDIF out of headphone jack using a 3.5mm mini jack to rca plug cable, that i made today at work...heh realllllly busy today...

 

It would be really nice to know the exact HDMI version The ASUS V1S has. Anyone has checked it? It was one of the main reasons to choose this laptop against others wich don't have HDMI.

 

If anyone can tell me how to check I will be happy to.

 

I don't know how to do it neither, when I have mine I'll investigate but I hope it will be the 1.3 because I read sometime ago that 1.3 comes with great improvement against prior versions

 

accordin to the information from wikipedia, Different versions of HDMI has different Maximum signal bandwidth, for example. So if anyone could check this Maximum signal bandwidth, and if it would be 340MHz - it mean that we have HDMI 1.3

We can check TMDS bandwidth or Maximum video bandwidth.
Or if anyone have FUllHD TV witch supports 2560x1600p resolution it would bw easy to check - only HDMI 1.3 supports 2560x1600p

IMHO thats the way to find out the "truth" about HDMI on V1S

 

My TV with HDMI only does like WSXGA+, and I dont have a cable

 

Anyway, thanks you, matt

 

I don't have a HDMI->DVI cable or I could test for you.

 

From ASUS FAQ:

please refer to attachment .
HDMI
models version
A7K 1.2
A7Sv 1.2
C90S 1.3
F7Sr 1.3
F7Kr 1.3
F9E 1.2
F9S 1.3
G1S 1.2
G2K 1.2
G2S 1.2
U3S 1.3
V1S 1.2
VX2S 1.2

So finally we DO KNOW that Asus V1s has 1.2 HDMI version not 1.3...so dissapointing!
