Same here with my 4K source components -- I let them handle the conversion to 2160. Plus, the configuration is simpler and the setup is easier to use (no changing resolutions on the source component if it doesn't do that automatically). For my two 1080p sources, I just let the display handle the...
Keep in mind you are never watching material in its native "broadcast format" resolution unless that native resolution is 4K (i.e. 2160). All 4K TV's are 2160 resolution only, so any lower resolution has to get converted to 4K somewhere along the way -- either by the source component, your AVR...
Since you seem to be having issues with your streaming devices, I checked on exactly how I have mine setup and what I am getting through my Denon receiver. For the Apple TV 4K device, I have the ATV4K's video setup as 4K SDR with Dolby Vision enabled. With those settings, everything gets...
So, are you switching to a cable run directly from the source component to the display when doing this? Can you list your settings for everything in the video section of your Denon's setup menu? Maybe we can see something you may be missing. You don't happen to have HDMI Control turned on, do...
I just checked all the video settings on my actual Denon X3300W receiver, and here are all the options under the video category. I only have two components that are not 4K -- Xfinity cable box and Oppo 980H DVD player -- and I verified that both are sending 1080p through the Denon AVR, and that...
Tony, I own the Denon X3300W, which is the predecessor to your model by one year. My AVR passes all video resolutions natively, so yours should, too. I would imagine the options in the setup menu are pretty close between the two models. Here are the video-related settings I am using according to...
