yes the marketing vps from sony as well as the other manufatures got together at this top secret meeting about a year ago and decided to cook up a 1080p conspiracy to try to con the world out of there hard earned money.....
Just do yourself a favor, and wait until the 1080p sets with 1080p inputs come out at the end of the summer and do some comparisons with a true 1080p signal (such as blu-ray).....Speakers: LSi9 x 2, LSic, LSiFX x 2, Velodyne HGS-15

I don't need to wait. I am telling you now, that 1080i/1080p, YOU and everyone else will NOT see a difference. So, go run out a purchase your Blu-ray because you think that 1080p will be that much of a difference. When you talk about these two 1080i/1080p, Frame Rate is the only difference, and today's tv's like LCos, LCD, PLASMA's, etc do an excellent job tricking the eye.sickicw wrote:Just do yourself a favor, and wait until the 1080p sets with 1080p inputs come out at the end of the summer and do some comparisons with a true 1080p signal (such as blu-ray).....
I don't want to cause an arguement over this, so please go out and purchase it and see for yourself. -

HD-DVD on a 1080p set (yes, I know 1080i deinterlaced to 1080p, big deal) looks much better than on 720p set. I admit some of it is because my 720p set isn't as good quality but a lot has to do with the difference in resolution.
That Samsung (HL-R6168W) looks absolutely incredible with both HD-DVD and HD broadcast. -
I guess i have better eyes than some people. I have seen the same material in both 720p and 1080p. Guess what. 1080p looks much much better. Also will do a demo with 1080p vs 1080i when blu-ray comes out.Speakers: LSi9 x 2, LSic, LSiFX x 2, Velodyne HGS-15

Sickicw, I am just curious what 1080p content have you seen? Other than WMV HD Content I wasn't aware of this media being available yet. Let me know what titles etc, are in 1080p. thanks!:)

As of this point in time, the choice of 1080p sets that accept a 1080p signal are very limited. So I won't enter the 1080i/1080p input to a 1080p arguement.
But there is a differance between 1080p and 720p. a 50" 1080p display can easily match the picture quality of a 40" 720p display. And size matters
