If it works on VGA then what is the benefit in HDMI? Projectors don't tend to have high resolution, particularly ones that are old enough to be out of warranty. I was under the impression that quality at high resolution was the main benefit that people get from using HDMI? From my own experience using projectors it seems very rare to have any quality problems that aren't directly related to low resolution, poor focus, ambient light, or a poor projection surface.
I have an Apple TV that I wish to run Plex via and the Apple TV will only output a digital signal to either DVI or HDMI (I believe this ends up being the same). I expect that if I can fix the EDID it will do this. The projector will output 1080p or some attempt at it though I will be more than happy with 720p. I did buy the projector with the expectation of being able to use HDMI so I do feel ripped off if this is in-fact a manufacturing fault. Allan I have tried various combinations including several voodoo solutions from the web (with no expectation that they would work). This includes the orders of startup for the projector and device attached. No luck. Regards, Edward
