All this talk about about 1080i on LCDs.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe all LCD screens have a native Progressive-scan resolution (ie 720p or 1080p). I don't think LCDs do interlacing IIRC. Now I can definitely tell the difference between interlacing and progressive on my RCA DLP set. The 720p actually looks better than the 1080i, because the interlacing causes details to blur more. Can really tell when looking at something like the ticker on ESPN.

iirc 1080p is considered HDTV. I'm a n00b with tv's so im not too sure but thats what i heard.

can someone explain what 1080p really means?

 

[2kchevy06civic 5,000+ posts]

all those numbers just mean a resolution(the amount of pixels on the screen) and then there is 1080i or 1080p which just means interlaced or progressive. But yes usually 1080p means HDTV.

Some compaies call it "True HD" to try and push their sets more, but it goes like this:

SDTV= 480i

EDTV (Progressive Scan)= 480p

HDTV= 720p, 1080i, 1080p

1080i, 720p, & 1080p are all considered HD.

Close, the number refers to how many horizontal lines of pixels make up the picture (I know I'm nit-picking, but it's fun). But you're right about the letter referring to the type of refresh rate.

ahh it's ok it's been forever since I've actually had my computer class (the monitor part of cousre) I know there are two ways a screen can refresh....thanks for correcting me though.

I know it's like how long the screen takes from up and down and then from left to right....or something, years ago.
