Compatibility:
- 24-inch Apple LED users. The AT-DP300 is capable of accepting any incoming resolution up to 1080p through HDMI input and scale the output to the native and highest resolution of Apple 24-inch LED display which is 1920x1200.
- 27-inch Apple LED users. The AT-DP300 is capable of accepting any incoming resolution up to 1080p through HDMI input and scale the output to 720p on the Mini DisplayPort output. The reason why it is limited to 720p on the 27-inch display is because 27-inch display is only capable of 3 resolutions 800x600, 1280x720 or 2560x1440 and since the DP300 can only go up to 1920x1200 (which is below 2560x1440), it will switch to the next resolution down which is 1280x720 (720p). Some previous advertisements from non-Apple sources showed that Apple 27-inch LED is also 1080p compatible; however this is not correct. Atlona makes a device which is capable of scaling any HDMI incoming signal to the highest resolution of Apple 27-inch LED, the model number is AT-HD620
- 27-inch iMac users. The AT-DP300 is capable of accepting any incoming resolution up to 1080p through HDMI input and scale the output to 720p on the Mini DisplayPort output. The reason why it is limited to 720p on the 27-inch iMac is because 27-inch iMac is only capable of 3 resolutions 800x600, 1280x720 or 2560x1440 and since the DP300 can only go up to 1920x1200 (which is below 2560x1440), it will switch to the next resolution down which is 1280x720 (720p). Atlona makes a device which is capable of scaling any HDMI incoming signal to the highest resolution of Apple 27-inch iMac, the model number is AT-HD620
