Anyone use 1080i as their screen reso?

[Wildside]

I was pretty sure that
standard tube TV is 480i
Enhanced is 480p/720i
High Dev is 720p/1080i/1080p

ur almost right. Except that there is no 720i but 576i, no p, just only 480p.

You wont notice much of a diff between 1080i and 1080p unless your screen size is bigger the 60". pwned!!

But the PS3 will look amazing on it none the less

you cant pwn me lol

to be honest mate.. i really couldnt tell ya about 1080i.. never had it. All i can tell ya if that my tv picture quality is sex in a plastic bezel

i was using my hd tv which is a samsung1080p tv with 10000:1 contrast to play team fortress it was beutiful. alltho i didnt get any frame drops from my 1280x1024 to the 1080p, so im asuming 1080p is comparable to 1280x1024? just not wide screen.

1080p is 1920x1080 i believe. TV's are usually 16x9, with computer monitors being 16x10. Thus the 1920x1200.

all i kno is the colours on teh tv where great, made everything look exelent i played ut3 demo on it aswell made the game look 10x better. at 30fps

Ya i'm excited to get my htpc set up. My 5 year old sony 42" wega only has a dvi input so it should in theory just work like a huge monitor with mediocre resolution. Pretty sure its only 1080i as its one of the first rear projection lcd tv's that was on the market. Good news is, since its first gen im pretty sure it was made in japan and not china

i got a question. How do u count the lines of pixels to know what the exact resolution is? I mean, ppl already found out that Halo 3 displays 640p but upscaled to 720p, 1080i/p.

how can someone do this? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!

I'm curious about this as well. Doesn't anyone know?

the sharpness is increased, with a 1080p detail tho you can see more texturs, if it is added to the disk, liek i have a dvd upscail and everything looks sharp crisp and amazing it only lacks texture.

1920 x(multiplied) by 1080 = 2073600 pixels. Thats how you get your pixels

i dont know much about upscalling, other then the fact thats that a 1080i picture upscaled to 1080p isnt considered the true 1080p picture because to get a 1080p picture it has to be recorded in 1080p. As well there is no such thing as 720i, only 720p.

ya thats what im saying it will upscale teh resolution, but you wont have the textures and detail of the 1080p just the sharpness, its hard to descrive, the higher teh resolution the more textures are able to be displayed.
