Q. 1080p displays are the newest types of LCD displays on the market. Although broadcasters do not send a 1080p signal yet, the newest Blu-ray and HD DVD players do. If you want the highest possible picture detail and a display that will accommodate higher resolutions in the future, then the cost may be worth it.
A. TV stations will not send any 1080P signals out, the bandwidth requirements exceed the 6 Mhz bandwidth that the FCC allows per channel.
They can transmit 1080i, but cannot transmit 1080P signals due to this limitation.
But DVD players can send a 1080P signal...and if the demand exists in the Future....you may see 2160P.
Is there a REAL difference between 1080P and 1080i ?
You would have to Sit RIGHT ON TOP OF THE TV SET to actually see the difference.
Round objects are smoother/rounder on 1080P, of course it is limited by the FACT that all display panels use square pixels to create a round object...
So there are limitations to the roundness of objects anyways....
I would suggest SITTING BACK and enjoying the whole picture and letting our eyes process the "squared circles" into smooth round circles.
Persistance of vision is an amazing part of our human design.
Is it worth the money to get a 1080P TV set?
YES !
You have to understand that 1080P TV sets actually have a 1920 x 1080 display panel, rather than a 1280 x 768 display in them.
A 1080P TV set is actually HIGHER DEFINITION than ones that can only process 720P and 1080i.
Native resolution is a very important value, and that wonderful [[1080P]] sticker on most TV sets tell you that you have purchased the HIGHEST Native Resolution DISPLAY that you can get !!

What is the best type of TV for PS3 gaming?
Q. What is the best TYPE of TV
LCD
HDTV
PLASMA
(or any other things you would like to point out)
LCD
HDTV
PLASMA
(or any other things you would like to point out)
A. Before I answer I would just like to clarify something. I find your second option quite funny as HDTV is not exactly a type of TV but rather a category of tv's that fit in if they exceed 720 resolution :) Just thought i'd clarify this. 1080p is currently the highest resolution found in consumer TV's and is also considered an HDTV. Currently, LCD and plasma are the major 2 tv types being sold in the markets.
I answered this exact same question a little while ago on answers, so I will repost what I said:
To answer your question directly - the answer is LCD for gaming as you would not have to worry about image burn-in that plagues many plasma displays. Static images such as health bars, maps, etc. that are all visible in video games, when displayed on plasmas for long periods of times (ie. many hours per week) could cause potential burning-in the screen for the future. This is still a problem for modern plasmas although the effects were much more visible in earlier editions of plasma displays.
The advantage to plasma however is that they have deeper or real black levels. With LCDs, the blacks are artificial and on many of the cheaper LCD sets, the black levels will look slightly washed out or grey.
I have a ps3 and use an LCD if that has any extra value. I simply enjoy the fact that I don`t have to worry about screen burn-in every time I turn on the TV even though many of the modern plasmas take a lot of usage in order for this to happen. It`s just a peace of mind I guess.
EDIT: I'd just like to clarify somethinig that another poster mentioned as it is major misinformation. LCD tv's that have 1080p resolution are not the best quality tv's. This is absolutely not true. There are 1080p resolution plasmas as well and with the deepened black levels I mentioned above, the plasmas would in fact have the better image quality. This is the major reason why people in fact buy plasmas, otherwise, why would someone buy something inferior to LCD in image quality and also risk image burn-in? However, some LCD tv's just recently (i.e. samsung 9 series) have LED backlighting which allows black levels to come very close to those of plasmas. However, the best image quality in a TV at the moment for the general consumer market is the Pioneer kuro elite model plasmas.
Just thought i'd clear up some information here as some people will get the wrong impression from the above post.
