720P
by bmike818 - 1/12/07 2:45 PM In reply to: Xbox 360 720p 0r 1080i by nhlan7I have a 42 Inch Sony LCD HDTV, I use 720P, it seems like the picture moves smoother. That is my peronal observation. But if you cant tell, I say just leave it on 1080i until you see some screen flickering, then try 720P. I hope this helps.
OMG!!!

720 p
by Kaiser Soze - 1/13/07 5:07 PM In reply to: Xbox 360 720p 0r 1080i by jr_g01I actually prefer 720p slightly better than 1080i. Only slightly though.
plasma or lcd for xbox 360
by redboy7 - 3/2/07 9:56 PM In reply to: Xbox 360 720p 0r 1080i by jr_g01im going to purchase a tv for my xbox 360 im wondering if i should get a42 inch lcd screen with 1080p or a 42 inch plasma with 1080i x 720p which is better for the 360 plasma or lcd screen and for watching television
go with 720p
by bloodyR - 3/3/07 4:34 AM In reply to: plasma or lcd for xbox 360 by redboy7At 42" (or even 50"), 1080p is completely unnecessary. You won't be able to tell the difference, so save your money and get a 720p display. As for LCD vs Plasma, there are pros and cons to each. I personally went with plasma because of the superior picture quality.
go with the 1080p true high def as of 2007
by tortch - 9/24/07 11:26 PM In reply to: go with 720p by bloodyR1080p is much higher quality than 1080i, SIMPLE AND PLAIN, and 720p will look better than 1080i if you will be using the display for anything other than picture viewing. also 720p has higher frame rates, 60fps vs 30 fps of 1080i
everyone that says 1080i is just as good as 1080p doesn't have a 1080p display. why do you think it takes less processing power for 1080i than 1080p. also i, doesn't assign each pixel to 1 perticular spot, it kinda just puts it out like analog tv.
its like saying 480 is as good as 720.
but if you do get a 1080p television make sure to get the 120hz models not the standard 60hz , the image blurring during fast motion video will look WAY BETTER.
I do own both
by kcfvegas - 9/25/07 8:30 AM In reply to: go with the 1080p true high def as of 2007 by tortchIn response to tortch's comment that anyone that says 1080i or 720p is as good as 1080p doesn't own a 1080p, let me say that I do own both. I have a 720p Pioneer PDP5080HD TV in my family room, and a Vizio 42" 1080p LCD TV in my bedroom, and I can say without a doubt, that the 50" 720p Pioneer has a better picture than the 42" 1080p LCD Vizio. Once you get into the 58" and bigger screens, then I would agree that 1080p would be a must have. But in the smaller screen sizes, especially 42", you do not have to have 1080p.
you are comparing two different types of tv
by tortch - 9/28/07 12:00 AM In reply to: I do own both by kcfvegasDont let these people confuse you.
1080p > 720p SIMPLE AND PLAIN, now you may have different results based on the quality of your television etc.
1080i, = crap comparitively.
but , why do you think 1080p displays cost more than 720p displays of the same model/make.
you may have a 720p tv, that looks better than some 1080p displays
but if thats the case, the 1080p tv is just of lower quality (contrast ratio, brightness )
and dont forget, television programs are NEVER broadcasted in 1080p, so they will not look as good on a 1080p monitor as it would on a 720p monitor unless the 1080p monitor would just center the image in the middle of the display , and not try to stretch the image to fit the screen.
I think you got something confused
by kcfvegas - 9/28/07 11:49 PM In reply to: you are comparing two different types of tv by tortchTortch, I think you got 720p HD confused with 420 SD at the end of your post. Both 720p and 1080p are high definition pictures and do require any stretching to fit the screen.
As far as 1080p being better than 720p or 1080i, on the instruments you are correct, 1080p is better. But where you are missing the point is that the human eye is not an electronic instrument, and thus when you take into consideration screen size and viewing distance, often the human eye can not see any difference between 1080p and 720p. For example I have a 50" Pioneer 5080HD 720p TV that I sit 14 feet away from when I watch TV. At that distance a person with 20/20 vision can not tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. But I can see a big difference in the picture quality due to the 20,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
As far as your point about why do 1080p sets cost more, there are two reasons. The first reason is that it is the newest technology and thus the manufacturers are going to let the early buyers pay for it. The second, and more important reason is that it is MARKETING HYPE, to get people to shell out more money for "FULL HD" than they need to, so they can increase their profits.
As I said before, 1080p is great, and if you can afford it, go for it.
But in many cases there is no need for it, as the viewer wont be able to see any difference.
Ugh
by toasterx11 - 2/21/09 12:02 PM In reply to: go with the 1080p true high def as of 2007 by tortchFirstly 720p and 1080i are both 30fps, secondly like stated in a post above 1080p isn't "true hd" its just scaled larger for 50inch and up tvs.
At 32"
by bkchurch - 3/3/07 8:20 AM In reply to: Xbox 360 720p 0r 1080i by jr_g01You won't see a difference in picture quality between the two so go with 720p since it will give you a smoother picture.
simple
by bevillan - 3/5/07 6:57 AM In reply to: Xbox 360 720p 0r 1080i by jr_g01If your TV is natively 720p then set it to that, if it is 1080i native then set it to that. If you have a 1080p TV, set it to 1080i.
And a deinterlaced 1080i signal (1080p) looks better than a straight 1080i one.
