hi
i am about to design a new industrial PC motherboard, and we have to decice to fit a DVI or a HDMI connector for the digital output display.
The chipset datasheet says max resolution : DVI-1920x1200, HDMI-1080p, max IObuffer speed 1.65Gbps/diffpair. The HDMI standard has an option for 1920x1200 resolution, but the chipset datasheet does not mention that.
I am afraid that it means that if we set the output to be HDMI standard compatible with audio, then the max resolution will be hardware-limited by the chipset to 1080p, even if the rest of the chip and the same IO buffers can drive 1920x1600. If we want higher resolution, then the output will not be HDMI compatible and this way non-standard.
what do you think?
