    hp pavillion 9700 blue ray (hdmi = v1.2)

    i cant seem to get 1080p over hdmi to dvid cable.
    1280by800 is the most i can get. (not looking to watch movies)
    just cad/office.

    cant use vga out - minport plug disables the vga.

    has anyone had success with using the HDMI to LCD at 1080???
    or is it a hardware limitation.

    samsung monitor has only dvid input. works excellent on my desktop(full2560by1900)

    hp support = dont waste your time (idiots)

    cheers

    My DV9500 displays 1080P via HDMI.

    Perhaps it is the TV, take your notebook to BestBuy and try it on one of theirs, I use a Sony Bravia and it works like a charm.
