V. Barbarino Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Take:1. 1 61' DLP, LCD HD 1080p TV2. Add in Direct TV's 1080I signal3. Turn on Sunrise EarthJust wow!!I feel so sorry for all the ass clowns who bought ED TVs or plasmas that can only pump out 720. 1080i will blow your socks off. Joey Harrington never looked so good. On a down side, I no longer want to bang the Williams sisters, they don't look good in HD. Ok, I'd still tax them, but they don't look good in HD.

Guest pod Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 You need to get either a Blu-Ray or an HD-DVD unit so you can really push the 1080p factor. Or hook up your forthcoming iMac to it and just play 1080p files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ramon Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 HDNet is wonderful as well. Sunrise Earth is amazing though. Discovery HD Theatre is great.Check out MHD if you have it Nick.Music in High Definition (mtv / vh1 / cmt) sponsored by Mitsubishi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiddSKYdrol1414779018 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 my tv only goes up to 720p/1080ibut for videogames and movies and anything that pretty much has fast motion 720p is better than 1080i..1080i has more "noise" in fast images due to the picture being interlacedPROGRESSIVE OR NOTHING1080P OR 720P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 In general, 1080i is the last interlaced format you'll see. 1080i is leftover from the initial development of HDTV by NHK, where their system was just focusing on doubling the then-current 525 lines of interlaced resolution that NTSC mandated as the standard. Japan used NTSC as their standard, since when it was set down, the Japanese electronics industry was not as big as it is today. But, in the 1980s when HDTV was initially being developed in Japan, NHK had set down a mere doubling of the NTSC standard as the goal. In analog no less. Then in the early 1990s, the US got into the game with the ATSC standards body, which said "fuck analog" and made everything digital. However, since content was being produced in Japan where eventually a lot of these sets were being made, 1080i was set down for backwards compatibility. The future right now is 1080p. 1080p is not broadcast over cable, the dish, or OTA at the moment. Several implementations of 1080p exist, at various frame rates. I would surmise we'll see more advanced 1080p framerates in the next three to five years as set top boxes support it. Most modern displays will already. After that, the next steps are UHDV, which consists of what is tenatively called 2540p (4520 x 2540) and 4320p which is 7680 x 4320, which amounts to 33 megapixels of uncompressed visual data per frame, which in turn requires around 6 gigabits a second of bandwidth. To put it in context, that resolution is delivering data that would fill up your iPod in less than a minute. In other words, someone's gonna be busy launching satellites and laying fiber.
