I've been playing around with my setup for the past several hours to see if I can get 4:4:4 with audio.
Current Setup:
Primary Monitor - Insignia NS-32E570A11 32" LED 120hz 1920x1080
Secondary Monitor (for when tv is in use) - BenQ G2222HDH 22" 1920x1080
Videocard - AMD Radeon 6970
The tv is ran through a Denon 1712 AVR
Here's what I know:
4:4:4 works perfect with DVI to HDMI
4:2:2 with HDMI and audio (AVR reports 10bit YCbCr 4:4:4)
4:2:2 with Displayport to HDMI and audio (AVR reports 10bit YCbCr 4:4:4)
AVR reports 10 bit YCbCr 4:2:2 when set to 4:2:2 in Cataylst Control Center
DVI and HDMI cloned desktop refresh sync is fixed with HDMI and Displayport
Here's the kicker:
My BenQ PC monitor is VGA and HDMI input with 2 channel output (no built in speakers). The BenQ does 4:4:4 with 2 channel audio over HDMI and Displayport.
So then I played around with EDID settings.
Insignia with BenQ EDID - 4:2:2 and 2 channel audio
Insignia with Insignia video and BenQ audio EDID - 4:2:2 and 2 channel audio
Insignia with BenQ and Denon audio EDID - 4:2:2 and 7.1 audio
Then I swapped the Insignia with the BenQ for curiosity sake. I get 4:4:4 and 7.1 audio through the Denon AVR. I viewed the Belle Nuit diagram on my Denon DBP-1610 blu ray player. The BenQ passed and the Insignia failed (AVR reported 12 bit YCbCr 4:4:4).
Just really annoying that I know it does 4:4:4 with DVI to HDMI. Obviously this is a TV hardware issue. The only thing I've yet to try is get a HDMI to DVI adaptor and use a DVI to HDMI cable on the receiver output. The receiver already has stripped the audio from the signal at that point and should still be able to pull the EDID from the TV. I guess will only cost me another $10 to try...
