Sky Q Mini - no 1080p on Optoma Projector

[GregT2]

Hi,

Had this issue for a while now but it's time to resolve it! I've got a Yamaha amp, with the following connections:

- Sky Q Mini

- Apple TV 4K

- BluRay player 

The Apple TV and BluRay happily do 1080p through the projector, but the poor old Sky Q Mini simply can't for some reason. Even if I connect it directly via the amp - projector HDMI cable, if I select 1080p on the Sky box, the screen goes black then times out and reverts back to 1080i?

I have lived with it for a while but our other Mini box does 1080p into a Samsung tv no problem?

Any advice appreciated!

If 1080i works then what's the issue?  Either the amp or TV will de interlace instead of the mini.

It should be able to display 1080p. It cannot, and will not. 

Thats the problem. Can I live with 1080i? Yes. But it would be nice to know why it can't do 1080p.

IIRC the Q output is 1080P50 - some projectors do not support this.

Check the specs, if only 1080P25 (or 30) is supported then that will be the reason.
