I see rainbows on DLP sets. Only because someone trained me how to see it. Now I cannot miss them. LCD forever.

the thing is that plasma's have that novelty wall-hanging thing going for them. LCDs are almsot at plasma quality so maybe you're right

The thing is that plasma's can offer the most stunning picture out there.

obviously...

what makes it better then 1080i?

every frame is a full frame instead of a partial frame. basically, every frame is updated with an entirely new frame, instead of a partial change

and what does that mean to someone watching TV on it

fast motion looks SICK

i see, my sisters plasma looked pretty sick last night after i installed the damn thing for her, man those things are heavy

well I have a question after reading some about 1080i vs. 1080p. It looke like 1080i is 1280 X 768 and 1080p is 1920 X 1080, am i right?

If so, why does this say it's 1080p compatible when it's only 1280 X 768? is it saying it 'down-converts' the signal but still shows it at 1080i?

Panasonic announced 50" 1080p and 65" 1080p. Pioneer did the same for their 50 and 61. The Panasonic 65 inch is coming out in japan this november i believe but it wont accept 1080p input only 1080i (then upscales it) If i remember correctly the 65" tha accepts 1080p and the 50" are coming out 2nd half of next year.

Where did you get that 1080i was 1280x768?

Edit: Looking at that page, that TV can probably take a 1920x1080 signal (progressive) over VGA, but of course scales it down to the set's native resolution for display

1080i: 1920 x 1080 interlaced
720p: 1280 x 720 progressive

In theory, 1080i is superior to 720p. Practically speaking though, it depends on many things (actual usable resolution of source, compression, quality of deinterlacer of your display, etc).

It's an audiovox that downconverts everything to 720p

some sony DVD player

Comcast shoudl ahve been there today with teh HD cable stuff, i set everything else up last night, pic is great sound is great also, the room it is in isnt huge so it sounds great, that sub does a real good job for what it is, tested it with parts from LOTR and we then watched Indiana Jones - ROTA

Football on sunday is gonna be sweet

ok so i was wrong about the res for 1080i, i wasn't sure about that. I just got a 23" LCD HDTV for my desktop and it can do 1280 X 768, which the BB salesperson told me was true 1080i (NOT saying I took his word for it, i was gonna get it anyway). As long as I can use an Xbox 360 with it i'm happy, 1280 is enough for me. Besides, my X800XT can't drive much above that with full detail in most current games.

yep. that's the straight facts.

Practially speaking 720p can be better that 1080i. The key word being "can"

I like that 50" Samsung 1080i DLP. Price is around $2700 now at minimum. When it drops below $2K, I will consider.

 

[kravmaga]

I think a 720p plasma is enough for me. I was interested in the 37" 1080p westinghouse LCD but really, how many movies and games etc are going to take advantage of 1080p in the next 5 years? The average person is still content with 480i let alone HD resolutions.

With the advancements in display technology I doubt it. Expensive at first and then after a few years it will drop.

Its a good time to be a videophile, yes, yes it is. Its simply mindblowing the advancements that come out each and every year.

the thing is that plasma's have that novelty wall-hanging thing going for them. LCDs are almsot at plasma quality so maybe you're right

But I have limited space, so I need a wall hanging one

DISCLAIMER: I sell Mitsubishi in my store but since none of you are going to come all the way to Alaska to buy a TV from me my advice is not intended as a sales pitch.

It's 1080i compatible. DLP's are progressive only. The native rez on that set is going to be 720p.

At $2700 its over priced though. It uses the HD3 chipset (although they are now referring to it as the .55" chip because HD3 is the kiss of death) which means the native rez of the DLP chip itself is only 720V x 640H. TI uses a feature they call "warbulation" to create two pixels from each mirror.

If you're shopping in the 720p category start looking at the newer LCD projectors. Sony (Models ending in 10... Stay away from the sets that end in 20) and Mitsubishi are producing LCD's with comparable black levels to the HD3 chip and have better contrast ratios. They are using an adjustable aperture to enhance bottom black. What's more they are pixel for pixel 720 x 1280. So for the same money as the Samsung you can have a Mitsubishi with a very cool system control built in. (Net Command... one remote for everything... even handles the logical operations involved in changing inputs in a home theater... very cool) and a true 1 million pixel picture.

But for God's sake... do NOT buy anything with a .55" (HD3) chip in it.
