Something tells me I dont want to watch porn in 1080p

IMO that pretty much cuts a porn stars shelf life to 21 years old.

Just replaced the TV in our bedroom with a 1080p Blue Ray setup. Very impressive

Anyone running Blu Ray with a 1080i set? Thats what we have in the Living room, and I was considering upgrading it.

I have a 57" 1080i set and BluRay looks great. There is really no reason to upgrade IMHO. Comcast outputs in 1080i and you're still getting the full HD resolution. Back "in the day" 1080i was much cheaper than 1080p. Now they don't even make 1080i only sets. So if getting a new TV yes P is the way to go. For an old keeper I is just fine.

lol Progressive > Interlaced

Especially when watching things with fast motion like sports and action movies.



IN fact 720p > 1080i

Not true. Progressive is very noticeable in 480i vs. 480p, not so much in the world of 1080 with the exceptions under some special circumstances.

As for 720p being better than 1080i? Yeah maybe on some janky 20-32" budget monitor.

Yea, my Samsung LCD sucks

A lot of you guys get so butthurt on here lol.

Since you like articles so much:

To answer the question, it's important to understand the difference between 720p
vs 1080i. A 720p signal is made up of 720 horizontal lines. Each frame is displayed
in its entirety on-screen for 1/30th of a second. This is know as progressive scan
(hence the 'p')The quality is like watching 30 photographic images a second on TV.
A 1080i signal comprises 1080 horizontal lines but all the lines are not displayed
on-screen simultaneously. Instead, they are interlaced (hence the 'i'), ie every other
lines is displayed for 1/60th of a second and then the alternate lines are displayed
for 1/60th of a second. So, the frame rate is still 30 frames per second, but each
frame is split into two fields, which your brain then puts together subconsciously.

Most of the time interlacing works fine, but for fast moving images, such as sports
like baseball and hockey it can cause problems which manifest themselves as a
'stepping' effect on-screen. Progressive scan signals don't have this problem and so
are better suited to sports.

Proves my point about fast moving objects on screen.

Now if youre watching something without all that motion 1080i is money. Me guesses you dont watch much sports then which is all good homie



Little something extra for you

I hear you

A 1080i signal is composed if 1080i horizontal lines any way you slice it. Sure it may do only 540@60 but you do get 1080 in the end oppose to 720, that is just a fact.

Besides if you have a good quality deinterlacer it really isn't an issue.

i didnt think jordan was getting butthurt, you however seem to be a bit defensive.

for 1080i i had a nice crt projector and 1080I was fuckign beautiful on it. i noticed no atifacts during scenes wiht fast movement. i dont think i would notice a huge difference if i were looking side to side with my new 1080p set.

back whe i got the crt there wasn't a lot of hd programming and i refused to watch anything in standard def, so i ended up watching a lot fo sports. no problems, however at that time anyone i knew how had a lcd tv thier set looked crappy to me not only with the colors not being right, or birght but the lcd lag was very noticable.

Well, do you get them on screen all at once? That's the point mang lol

Obvious our opinions will differ on this

True but with 1080i you're getting 1920-pixel H resolution, 720 you're only getting 1280 H resolution. I'll take the added resolution any day.



At any rate here is more info:

Does 720p has a higher resolution than 1080i?
