1080p for anything 60" & Up
by mmayer54 - 12/24/06 10:36 AM In reply to: Depends by tiscpa1080p sets have dropped way down. My beautiful Samsung HL-S6187 1080p DLP has a spectacular picture, 10,000-1 contrast and can now be found for just $1,999! (Was $3399 in August. I watch everything at 1080i and the sets internal processor "de-interlaces" it. Good idea to "future-proof" your purchase with the xtra resolution capability. Especially if yoo want that 60-73" HD experience.
Don't Know

I purchased my 1080i projection sony tv from my brother after he bought an lcd 1080p tv. I then purchased a ps3. I got 5 free blu-ray discs that I didn't want anyway so I traded them in. I should have kept one and tested it myself to answer my question. Anyhow here is my question. Will the blu-ray 1080p disc play in 1080i on my 1080i tv or will it just not play? I didn't like the choices they offered anyhow 
thanks for your help.
Answering my own question :P
by joecav654 - 8/30/08 8:10 PM In reply to: Don't Know by joecav654ok well I tested a blue ray disc on my tv and it downgrades the picture to what you have. So all you ps3 users out there you don't have to rush out and get a 1080p tv just yet. I think there are other reasons not to rush out if you don't have to. 1) Tv only brodcasts in 1080i max. 2)games on the ps3 that are advertised as 1080p look better with 1080p but will play at 1080i. So don't spend any more than you have to, want to.
