Home audio & video forum: 1080p Now or Wait a Few Years?

...in my mind. It is humor only.

It is my humorous response to what I consider to be the specifications/numbers race preoccupation of many people. Yes, the new improvements are great. However, many do not understand that the actual incremental increase in performance is not a simple mathematical improvement. Many see the 1080p resolution spec, for example, and presume this implies an approximate resolution improvement of 40% over 768p. The actual visual difference is very slight. I know I'm being very simplistic here but I think you will get my drift.

This race mentality is fueled by the manufacturer's pushing new improvements in an ever more frequent release of new groundbreaking features and specs.

Yes, technology moves fast these days, but companies also move fast to convince us that what we have is no longer any good. They now put models on the shelves in which they don't even have the bugs eliminated yet. Look at the first generation models of the new super DVD players from Toshiba and Samsung.


The ''racers'' have to have HDMI, no HDMI 1.2, no wait it's now 1.3, soon it will probably be HDMI 1.4, and on and on.

The trick is to figure out when it is actually a reasonable move to embrace a new piece of equipment. Some just have to have the ''latest and best.''

This is why we have people post here looking for a $300-$400 HTIB system to compliment the $3500 TV they just bought. They went overboard on the TV so they are a little limited on cash for the sound portion of their system. They still insist however, that it must be a 7.1 system, have HDMI, a sub that really rocks, floorstanding fronts, an upconverting DVD player and at least 1200 watts! OK, sure, no problem for $400.

....I think my reason for the last paragragh didn't come thru as I meant it. I of course was being a little sarcastic. What I was trying to do was mimic a newbie who simply got some buzz words in his mind that seemed to make for the perfect system. He was saying he absolutely had to have 7.1 for example because somehow he got the idea that was a great home theater sound necessity and nothing else would do.

I was actually combining my thoughts there with one of my pet peeves that many spend almost all of their budget on video and then almost completely ignore sound.

I have no problems with HTIB for those who want an easy way for a cheap price, lets say $500-$600, to supply the sound part to go with their $1000 LCD TV. The mix is OK here. The smart buyers realize they are comprimising and do not expect to get all the top of the line features at this price.

I'm just cautioning people from getting specific numbers or features in their head as the holy grail of audio/video, hence what I refer to as the numbers or features game.

If any of this hit home with you it wasn't intentional. I for one am glad to help as I can. I just try to also point out to newer A/V enthusiats to don't get hung up on the numbers, there is lots more to it than that.

That's because your on the PAL system. The PAL system is based on 50hrz refresh rate.
NTSC/ATSC is at 60hz refresh rate. The 60hz takes more bandwidth than 50hz, so it would be possible to do 1080p/24. John

on a small screen unless you also plan to use the TV as a monitor for a PC or gaming device.

As a pure TV... pointless.

Where it will show a benefit is with front projectors on large screens over 60" and you have a HD/BD player or media PC to feed it 1080p media.

As I understand it, the HDMI connections now out there are HDMI 1.2, but there will be a new connection called HDMI 1.3 that requires a bigger female socket. Although I haven't read the details, I wouldn't assume that an adapter, such as used between DVI and HDMI, will be a simple solution. It might be that in order to get the best quality out the high definition discs, you'll need a player with that kind of output, a receiver/multichannel preamp with that kind of input and output, and a TV with that kind of HDMI 1.3 input. I'm told that this will be out among several products by summer 2007.

Can you remember where on the Web you got that information from?

Some where on the web I read that HDMI 1.3 was already being used, but I cannot remember where.

I had automatically assumed that some how the HDMI 1.3 was automatically downloaded to all TVs, because I had not realised that a TV is not a PC.

One reason for not buying an HD TV yet is because there are too many problems to consider:
1) BLu-ray & HD-DVD
2) Combining TV and PC technology
3) There have been compatibility problems with HD products which contain HD ready labels, which it appears editors and manufacturers have kept quite about.
4) It should be possible to link a PC to a TV to download the latest HDMI 1.3 driver (software) for people who only have the inferior versions.
5) when editors and the manufacturers were stating that there were no differences between DVI and HDMI I didn't believe them. For example DVi cannot be encripted to prevent piracy of the sound only the picture, which was why HDMI was created.
6) When I found out about HDMI 1.3 I was shocked, because I had always assumed that there was only one version of HDMI and not that three had been created.
7) I also asked what was the purpose of the long wait for the standard to be sorted out before marketing HD products.
8) Too many further upgrades and improvement in picture quality and reduction in price despite knowing about:-
A) The latest Sony KDL-40W2000 (UK) - equivalent to Sony 40 Bravia LCD TV KDL-40V2500 (USA).
B) The superior versions:
Sony KDL-40X2000 (UK not available yet) equivalent to;
Sony 40 Bravia XBR LCD Flat Panel HDTV KDL-40XBR2 (USA) or
Sony 40 Bravia XBR LCD Flat Panel HDTV KDL-40XBR3 (USA)

If the socket is going to be a different size, I need to find out why, because why couldn't they just modify a scart or 21-pin socket.

There was something else, which annoyed me when I found out about HDMI 1.3 but I cannot remember what it is, but also why didn't CNET tell us about it?

How do we know which product contains the new HDMI 1.3 standard, because nobdoy I don't thnk told us about the upgrade from HDMI 1.0 to; HDMI 1.1, HDMI 1.2 to HDMI 1.3 and what are the different functions between them?

Barrington

Thank you for sending me the Website URL for HDMI's organisation, which proved a lot of things!

It verified also that it is actually and literally a complete waste of money in my opinion buying any 1080p HD product without HDMI 1.3!

I think I read some where that about 29 million HD TVs have been sold worldwide, which in my opinion has been a complete waste of money.
For example HD TVs not having Dolby True HD Sound, but telling consumers that 5.1 sound was HD sound.

Thanks,

Barrington.

Your message is 100% correct!!!

It appears that also HDCP, and AACS may also be causing problems.

I was told that the problem is probably a sound problem.

The early versions can only probably play nicam stereo sound instead of the full surround sound - explains why probably no HD TV actually has Dolby True HD Sound!

See the following websites:
http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/content/press/news/hdcpoct.html

http://www.dolby.com/promo/HD/

Once again, full marks, one of the few excellent messages posted on the site, instead of subjective balderdash (nonsense) posted by some people one site!

I live in England.

Any person whying a TV after reading this if it is not absolutely necessary is an idiot until High Definition Product's problems have actually been sorted out, (instead of kept a secret by some manufacturers and editors)!!!

I have just deleted the notes below, which I have made.

This is, because I have just verified that High Definition appears to be actually and literally a con (rip-off), which the editors and manufacturers should have been aware of, whilst encouraging us (consumers), worldwide, to buy more useless High Definition Products!!!

I stated numerous times, in the past, that something was wrong. This is because nobody was taking into account Dolby High Definition (HD) sound.

Recently, most people talking about High Definition sound have been claiming that it is 5.1, which is ridiculous.

I consider 5.1 to be obsolete.

This is, because I have been using it since about 1999, with my Denon AVR-2802.

It has; Prologic II, DTS, 5.1, 6.1 and upgradeable to 7.1 and used with Pioneer DVD player DV-747A.

Probably last year I went to the Dolby's website, which verified that they had created a Dolby HD sound(now called Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus).

To verify see website:
http://www.dolby.com/promo/HD/

There is actually a real compatibility problem with High Definition products in the world, which probably editors and manufacturers were fully aware of, whilst encouraging as many people as possible to buy probably faulty HD products.

Months ago on one website, I read that numerous companies who have gone to one company to make sure that their products were HD compatible.

The, 'HD Logo' is useless at verifying that HD products are compatible with HD; sounds and pictures.

It does raise the question what was the purpose of the long delay whilst the manufacturers were claiming that they were working out what the criteria should be.

There are incompatibility problems with at least
one of the following, (which editors and manufacturers should have been aware of whilst encouraging us (consumers worldwide)to buy faulty (useless) HD products);
1) High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI),
2) HDCP (High Definition Content Protection),
3) AACS (Which appears to be some advanced computer technique to use TV and PC together)

Definitely don't buy any HD TV because as one person told me today, even most people in the industry doesn't know what is happening, the compatibility problem is in complete chaos, and the situation is a complete fiasco.
I was advised to wait until the compatibility was solved or to buy a TV now, which was interesting.
My attitute was and is only an idiot would buy an HD product with the incompatibility problem.
The sales person said yes, it is best to wait.
For further proof see the following website:
http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/content/press/news/hdcpoct.html

NB! I didn't know that the situation was this bad, but only an idiot would buy a TV when it is unnecessary, with the serious incompatibility problems, which exists.

Editors and manufacturers must have known about these problems, whilst still encouraging people to buy products, which may be already obsolete (to obtain; HD picture and Dolby true HD sound)!

This also could explain why prices are probably falling far too quickly, which is interesting!!!

It reminds me when Panasonic launched the first DVD players in England they quickly became obsolete and a complete waste of money - they had to buy new ones, I think.

As I said in the title it appears to be acutually one huge con!!!

I presumme that you live in the USA with that many channels and being able to obtain high definition (HD) using outside antenna (aerial).

Dolby True HD sound should be much better than 5.1 sound, which some experts have falsely been claiming is high definition sound.

If I was you I would ask the retailer where you purchase your DLP from will they upgrade your HDMI to HDMI 1.3 free of charge!

I am hope that 1.3 will solve problems but there are far too many unanswered questions:
1) HDCP is also causing compatible problems!
2) The last I heard is that AACS encryption is not being enforced,
which means that when it is there will be more compatible problems.
3)There will probably be continued compatibility problems between
also different versions of HDMIs, which consumers are not aware of!
4) It was claimed that the reasons for the long delay in marketing HD
products was to solve the criteria and compatiblility problems,
which apprear to be completely false.
5) The establishment:- editors, retailers and manufacturers making HD
products obsolete by creating another HDMI version and the
problems created with HDCP and AACS, especially.

Before I forget I shall try and find and include two websites (but it is really two pages from a single website) as proof:

http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/articles/2006/09/hdmi_part_10_-.php

http://hdmi.org/about/faq.asp

In England most DVDs are 5.1 but there are some with 6.1.

I read some where that Blu-RAY has the ability to go to 8.1 but maybe this is reading pages on the HDMI official site, which I given above.

I shall wait until there is a combined machine with both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD player, with better features, reliability performances (including Dolby TrueHD Sound), compatibility, at least 1920x1080p and also reduced prices etcetera.

I have never thought of Dolby and DTS has being rivals I probably assumed that Dolby also created DTS.

DTS is definitely better, with the system, which I have:
Pioneer DV-747A DVD player, Denon AVR-2802, Mission (100W RMS per a channel and Yamaha 100w RMS subwoofer), Panasonic TX-W28R4DP (Widescreen Prologic)TV with a small fortune spent on best buy cables.

I shall try and find the Dolby TrueHD website for you:

http://www.dolby.com/promo/HD/

The way I look at buying things:
1) Carryout a, 'Feasibility Study' (research) reading magzines in the
stores and buying them if their group reviews are objective and
excellent, which at the moment in England appears to be Hi-Fi
Sound and Vision magazines, because I have not purchased any
others.
2) I now also read users opinions on the internet and workout, which
ones are objective and based on correct information for example
CNET.

They should be experts but actually talk complete nonsense:
Use second rate products, not carrying out proper scientific,
professional reports to proper professional standards, which even
they admit in an article (one person and David carried out
comparing 720p, 1080i and 1080p) resolution. Luckily I saved it to
favourites

http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6661274-1.html?tag=cnetfd.mt

I Usually try to look at least ten years a head but at the moment it is difficult to look five years ahead:
1) Gamers in the computer field are substantially improving computer
technology.
A) The same performances etcetera required for gamers are the
same, which are required for DVD films and especially HD
technology, because also DVDs require higher performance
standards than playing games I read some where.
B) Virtually everybody has been concentrating on HD picture but I
have always wanted to know was there an HD sound, so I went to
Dolby's website and it said that there was
1: One of my reasons for not buying an HD TV.
C) Some unscrupulous people claim that 5.1 was HD sound, but I
took the attitude that I have had 5.1 for probably since 1999
and considered it to be obsolete.
D) The HDMI website given above verifies that since nobody has
HDMI 1.3 at the moment, which is required for;
1: Dolby TrueHD Sound and
2: Dolby Digital Plus
2) Probably last year I saw LG research department on the, Gadget
Show'.
A) It stated I think that LG created DVD.
B) That LoCOS would be able to produce a much better picture
quality than LCD but they could only create a size screen of
about one inch square I think it was, because of the
unreliability problem and it would take at least three years I
think it was to solve problems.
Now I know that it should be within about a year that LoCOS
should be able to produce better picture quality than LCD and
cheaper in both 1080i and 1080P formats (probably to maximize
profits.
NB! HDMI website verifies that HDMI 1.3 will probably create 1440p resolution, which I think is probably realistic:
1) Once compatibility problems are solved.
2) Unnecessary cap of for example colours are removed.
3) Film studios will be creating 1920x1080p source material hopefully
4) Broadcasters to compete for market share will have to create 1080p.
5) The gaming industry probably make more money than Hollywood, which
also will be demanding 1080p.

Therefore, I think that 1920x1080p at least will quickly become the normal standard, which is also verified by the number of 1080p products being sold.

In Englan I see stores selling for example Panasonic plasma 42" TVs for the same price as well as cheaper than the Sony 1080p despite that they were more expensive - depends where TVs are purchased, which is why it is best to shop around for the lowest prices.

I am sure that if most people or millions of people knew what I know before they purchased HD products if their TVs didnot actually needed to be replaced they would have waited.

I also took into account that I was told by my cable company that there would be a long list of HD channels available which I knew was completely false.

This meant what was the purpose of buying:-
1) A new TV at the time probably with
A)Only one HDMI socket,
B) Twin tuners - to record whilst watching another channel
C) I would really require about 4 or 5 HDMI sockets
D) There probably must be an HDMI link for each product, which
requires HD Picture and HD sound
E) Replace TV monitor with for e.g. one HD TV - Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth
2) Subscribe to HD Cable digital box
3) AVR Receiver with HDMI sockets
4) DVD with HDMI sockets and including upscaler
5) Replace at least some and maybe all cables to 1080p HDMI cables.
6) Extra storage device with Terabyte of memory for about one week of
best quality of HD quality.
NB! Even spending thousands of pounds would have been a complete
waste of money:
1) HD channels promised by Cable company do not exist.
2) HDMI 1.3 verifies complete waste of money products won't be available until PSP3 late 2006 and possibly early 2007 if lucky.

Therefore, the above are just some of the reasons why I am waiting - Unlike you, there are just too many problems for me to buy.

I also give high priority to reliability, because it is annoying buying something which is unreliable.

Trying to get some unscrupulous company whether or not they have been given an excellent award for service to repair a piece of junk!

In England we have official associations or organsations for most things - their purposes are to give a guide as to, which firms should be able to be trusted and work to professional standards.

I have found the the TV aerial (antenna) organisation's website:
The Confederation of Aerial Industries Limited

http://www.cai.org.uk/asp/installer.asp

It is excellent! I have saved it to my favourites.

I agree with you that with digital it is either on or off, but my position is, which is the same for most people in England who have both digital and analog:
1) In my case I have digital with my cable digital provider and
A) Digital cable is connected to my
B) Digital Cable box
C) Digital cable box is connected using scart leads to
D) My SVHS recorder, and then connected to
E) One of my scart sockets in my TV
2) Analog using my external roof aerial (antenna).
A) Therefore the TV aerial is not related to my digital signal but
it is for my analog signal using a RF lead.
B) This means that besides having the above leads for my digital
signal, I also have the following leads for my analog signal.
C) RF TV aerial (antenna) cable from my roof TV aerial (antenna) to
D) TV amplifier booster small box, connected by
E) A short RF TV Aerial (antenna) cable to the
F) Digital Cable box, it is then connected by
G) An analog cable to
H) SVHS cassette video recorder, which is then connected by
I) An analog cable to
J) The TV's RF socket.

Therefore, I have two sets of cables one for analog and one for digital (relatively expensive but excellent picture and sound).

I was going to try and find an example for you - but I have managed to use the website, which you are probably familiar with and in american to prove my point.

1) Goto the website:

http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/info.aspx?page=FAQ#_Ref28770246
2) Goto: What are the basic rules for TV signal reception

3) Start reading from:-

'4. Bigger is better. The larger an antenna, the more signal it receives.'

If you contact antennaweb.org for example by telephone and ask them if you are using an external TV aerial (antenna) to provide analog signal to for example a 28" TV and the picture quality is poor, would placing a more powerful aerial (antenna) reduce or solve the problem?
I have a powerful aerial (antenna) which also reduces ghosting.

I notice that your organisation is the same as any other organisations they refer you on to a member for more detailed advice:

In most cases it is possible to receive an excellent picture for at least some channels in the worst signal areas.

I must assume that the quality of the the digital cable, and not the quality of the analog cable signal, is much better than that of the external analog signal. This should be good enough to convert a poor external antenna signal into an excellent digital cable signal.

If it is possible to speak to an actual digital cable technician then they would tell you that usually the standard of digital cable is much higher than what an analog TV can except, which is why they have connectors and settings to reduce the signal.
If the signal is too strong poor picture problems occurs, which is why sometimes they have to reduce the picture resolution to get an excellent picture quality. This is why in majority of cases it should be possible for even if the Sony SD (standard definition)picture is poor to increase it to the best picture quality of best 40"-42" TV in the world in SD mode.

NB! I do have a problem and that is some people are defining SD as
any resolution, which isn't HD, which doesn't make sense.
For example there is a difference between digital and analog, and
also between; VHS,SVHS,D-VHS, and DVD but my method makes more
sense. That is standard definition is an analog picture created
using especially using an antenna.

Another way of looking at the problem is to ask your antenna organisation, if the signal coming into your TV is poor quality would they recommend that you installed a better TV aerial to substantially improve the signal or will buying a different TV make much difference?

I have noticed that some where on the website, which you gave to me:-
1) It stated that HDTV gives 5.1 and implied that
2) SD TV cannot get 5.1, which is false.
A) I have been using analog since 1999 with my Denon AVR-2802
1: Contact any top Hi-Fi store who would agree with me
2: I do also use optical lead for digital sound between
A: Pioneer DV-747A DVD player and
B: Denon AVR-2802.
3) Most people usually don't have problems with antenna but the
problem occurs when there is a problem:
A) Buildings in the way
B) Trees in the way
C) living at the the bottom of an hill or where the road dips
D) It is probably possible to tell when there is a poor quality
problem, because some of the aerials will be longer or wider!
4) I would recommend anybody to contact the antenna organisation and
find an aerial firm, which uses a meter!
NB! If the firms are anything like in England they are being paid
by the hour.
This means the longer they take the more money they will make and
it is too difficult to find the correct position without a meter.

NB! A meter should be 100% accurate and quick but buying a freeview digital box will !

There are two types of antennas (aerials):
1) You are talking about the cheap antenna (aerials).
2) I think the type, which I am using is called, 'High gain TV aerial'
Which hopefully, has the same meaning in the USA but your
organisation can tell, which aerial is best for an
- Antighosting and a very weak reception area.
It also means that you don't have to be so accurate as the cheap
antenna (aerial). Barrington.

1)I think that you have made the same mistake as the previous person, which I have just replied to, assumed the antenna was for digital when the aerial is being used for analog.

2) To quote you, 'The main issue is only exposure to unobstructed signals (blocked or reduced by walls, metal, mountains, buildings, etc)', that is why an high gain powerful Aerial (antenna) is required to prevent ghousting etcetera for the annalog signal.
3) My cable digital signal is excellent on any channel!
4) If you are going to ask why do I use both analog and digital it is because I cannot record whilst watching another digital channel.
A: buying a PVR would be a waste of money with the new HD products coming a long and I shall probably require one Terabyte to store a weeks HD programmes and films in best quality if allowed to.
B: It appears that USA are allowed to record HD programmes and films but in England I don't think that it is possible.
5) Therefore, if I am recording a digital cable channel and there is a programme on the terrestial (air to air) TV aerial (antenna) then I can watch it without interferring with my recording.



I shall just copy my rely to you and any additional questions I shall answer at the bottom.
