What limits Beagle Board Black HDMI resolution

Sound like you need a Raspberry Pi. They have amazing video and the GPU kick butt over the BB capabilities.

We managed to get 1080p images running on the BeagleBone Black over HDMI. It runs at 50Hz, and won’t work with every monitor, but it’s working on our 27" at the moment.
