[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1165021, member: 17766"] Hi [USER=104648]@Tmaniac[/USER] , Not yet, have tested several different solutions and TV / AVR hardware but 24P never worked. HDMI splitters are mostly different by feature set, some offer 3D or HDMI 1.4 but that's about it. Basically it's just splitting the same signal so EDID stays intact. There are some speculations about some of the new solutions using a HDMI -> HDMI (direct pass through) device which eliminates any quality loss compared to the current analog conversion, not sure what to make of it yet as I can't find any exact hardware specifications (only buzz words / marketing) so will have to wait for some actual users hands-on reviews. There's another one starting soon which looks the same as the rest: [URL]http://www.dreamscreentv.com/[/URL] From my personal experience and watching a few different boards all of the "plug and play" solutions always have some sort of issue be it lack of 24P or just not bringing the same end results as Hyperion where you can tinker / upgrade. Also most of kits are 30 leds p/m (WS2801) which isn't that great especially for large tv screens but am spoiled with 218 leds here ;) APA102 looks like the way to go at the moment, plan to upgrade my WS2812 leds next year if they're significantly better :) [/QUOTE]
