4K on Channel 540

Update:

I decided to try another HDMI cable and bypass the AVR. I hooked the H3 directly to the P75 on HDMI 2 and let the audio go to the AVR via ARC on HDMI 1. Voila! I got 2160p on the Fox Sports basketball game tonight.

One thing I noticed was that the the old HDMI cable from the H3 to the Marantz AVR was in pretty bad shape. The insulation was off with quite a bit of the shielding exposed. I didn't get a chance to experiment further, but I will replace the HDMI cable from the H3 to the Marantz and see if I get 2160p through the AVR.

While the old cables may or may not work, I do recommend you buy at least one Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable for experiments. The one with the hologram sticker.

I have a 4K Vizio, but no HDR support. Should I buy HDMI, and what port should I plug in on that Vizio?

If you want 4K you need HDMI. I don't know what model Vizio you have but Port 1 is probably a good choice.

If its like my Vizio you will need to use port 5 for 4K 60 Hz

Other Way Port 5 only does 4K @ 30 on 99% of Vizios The other ports do 4K60 On That Model though only HDMI 1 Supports HDMI 2.0
