Full screen HD playback of Blu-Ray DVD, Playstation 3, Xbox Elite, Direct TV, Dish Network or other components with HDMI output set at 720p. This is due to limitation of the iMac 27" as a display which accepts only 1280x720(720p) or 2560x960 resolution base on the display EDID. If when the iMac 27" accepts a 1920x1080(1080p) resolution the Kanex XD will be able to output at 1080p.
Based on the EDID of the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display, the 27-inch display will only accept two input resolutions of 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz (native resolution) or 1280 x 720. HDMI can not render at 2560 x 1440 so it can only support 1280 x 720.
Playback not possible on Apple LED Cinema 24" because this display only accepts 1920x1200 resolution and PS3, Xbox 360, Blu-Ray does not have a matching resolution at 1920x1080.
However depending on your PC DVI/HDMI video signal, it will work because it has more resolution to select from to match.
