Onkyo 1.1 HDMI receiver - 1080p no?

[Derb]

Hello, stupid question.. maybe..

I bought the Onkyo 604 HDMI receiver 3 or 4 months back & there is nothing in the manual about what resolution it can output. The only thing it shows is HDMI v1.1

I looked up HDMI in general at wikipedia & according to their info, 1.1 passes resolution up to 1080p

So my question is, should I be able to change the resolution on my HD DVD & PS3 player to 1080p?

Thanks.

Any takers?

Does 1.1 pass 1080p?

Yes, HDMI 1.1 passes 1080p. However the Onkyo may have other limitations that could prevent 1080p from being passed.

Thank You.

I've seen 1080i, but never 1080p so I am anxious if I can spot any difference between the 2.

P is seven letters higher than i, so it must be better!

I just remember my 480i to 480p experience with SD & remember it was almost night & day difference. I doubt there will much difference & if my 15/15 vision can't spot any I am going to sue myself!

I do notice a difference when I switch my blu-ray player between 1080p and 1080i, but it's not a night and day one.

My dad owns a Vizio 1080p 42" LCD HDTV and I was watching 1080p and didn't even know it. From the viewing distance (~15 maybe), it looked like 1080i does from 12-13 feet on my 2010 Toshiba 57HX81. We used an upconverting DVD player to feed 1080i to the TV and noticed some artifacting that went away when we fed 720p to the TV. Lastly, when my dad plays back recorded video from his cable box/DVR, he notices a lot of combing.

But I digress....

Peace...
