If my camera is set to 4k, will this monitor still show the feed, only in 1080? Or will it not show the feed at all?
Asked by: Matthew
If the HDMI output is set to 4K, it will not show anything, as this monitor will not support 4K streams, but if you can set the HDMI out to 1080, then a 480 image will be shown -- which is the max resolution that the monitor can reproduce.
