What does it mean to have 720P Display vs. 1080i Supported? And should I care?I was about to purchase a Toshbia 62HM94 62" DLP, but while reading through the specs I noticed this:
Broadcast Format Displayed: 480i (SDTV), 720p (HDTV)
Broadcast Format Supported: 1080i (HDTV), 480i (SDTV), 480p (EDTV), 720p (HDTV)Does this mean that the maximum resolution that can be displayed is 720P although it can receive a 1080i signal? I noticed all the DLP HD2+ televisions from Toshiba, RCA, and Mitsubishi had this 720P displayed, I guess it's a function of the TI hardware.
Should I care? Do any sets display say 1080i? If they do are the prices stratospheric?
I was also looking at the Sony 60" Wega LCD, does anyone know if this supports 1080i? I'm looking for a 60"+ HDTV for about 3K. I plan to play my Xbox on in which is why I was leaning towards DLP as opposed to LCD. Any thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks!
Follow Ups:
I have a plasma that supports all formats...noticable difference between 1080 and 720...sounds like the set you're gonna buy will downconvert the 1080 signal to 720, which would make it more noticable.
All that means is Toshiba's native resolution is 720p, similar to a lot of DLP's like Samsung. When 1080i signal is fed to Toshiba, it will internally scale it to 720p, but I doubt you will be able to tell difference between 720p vs. 1080i.Some people will argue feeding 720p signal to Toshiba will be "better" due to the same native resolution, but many others disagree and are happy feeding "other" resolutions.
Not a reason not to buy Toshiba, Unless you want to wait for 1080p monitors to get cheaper.
