I've given up on getting a 1080p TV as they're too expensive / there's not enough things that use the extra res.

I am kind of considering going with size as my main factor now...that is, as long as the TV itself is good / good quality HD.

Can someone PLEASE explain in laymans terms about 1280 times 720p resolution.

That's still HD, right? It obviously will do 720p...will this resolution also allow 1080i?

Any advice appreciated. I've read a tonne on HD TV's the past month and I'm more confused than when I started

I have a 26 inch HD sammy...it's 1368 res etc though. Higher than this model.

Re: 1280 x 720p Resolution TV

720p is HD, 480p isn't.

Yes, your TV will be able to play 1080i content, but it won't be at 1080i, it'll be at 720p. The internal scaler for your TV will downscale 1080i content to 720p, and will upconvert 480p/i content to 720p. Some TV internal scalers aren't that good, so it might be wise to invest in an upconverting DVD player if you want to view content in pseudo-HD.

I have a Sammy 50" DLP 1080p, I really like what the Sammy has to offer. Well worth the purchase as my 360 and PS3 games look great on there + BD and HD-DVD movies are nice too.

Re: 1280 x 720p Resolution TV

I would wait on a Sammy DLP, they are coming out with new ones early summer that will use LED's instead of bulbs for the picture, going to be a lot nicer picture, plus a lot cheaper. I've read 42" DLP 1080p's are going be around 1K.

Plus, if he can wait for the summer the LCD's are getting a significant price drop.

Cheers all.

Looked at an LG 50 inch plasma this morning.

Kind of fun trying to pick out a TV. My Mrs is wondering why we've looked at about 50 TV's so far though and i've changed my mind every time

Re: 1280 x 720p Resolution TV

Just tell her that kind of investment takes research.

LOL

She's pretty cool my Mrs.

I was like "I guess I could settle for a 40 inch tv".

Her "won't you regret it? I don't want you to wish you had a 50 inch one in a month or two"

Me "Okay darling, i'll get the 50..."

Re: 1280 x 720p Resolution TV

LOL very nice. She knows she'll hear you talking about getting the 50 inch if you didn't anyhow.

She is okay with you getting your toys. She is totally cool.

Yeah, she's a nice woman my mrs.

She's a really devout Buddhist...so nothing much upsets her. Kind of nice having that calmness around

You're right re the 50 inch...she basically said that if we get 40, we're going to want 50 sooner or later.

I wouldn't mind a 60 actually...would be too big for the room I intend to put it in though.

Neo, thanks for the advice above also. Good to see you around
