A. There is a 40" sony bravia lcd hdtv 1080p for 999 and a samsung 40" 1080p for 850
Need help Looking to buy an 37-47 inch lcd hdtv Resolution 720p or 1080p?
Q. I am looking to purchase a hdtv probably in the sizes between 37-47 inches probably 1080p. I have heard that to notice the difference in 1080p than 720p the screen size needs to be bigger than 42inches. So for example if i bought a 37 inch tv there would be no point to buy a 1080p for that size correct? Now i want the tv to watch hd dvds play my 360 etc. I know you must have an xbox 360 elite with the hdmi input to have it in 1080p but i hear that the xbox 360 has to upscale 720p to 1080p since the native resolution for most games on the xbox 360 is 720p so how does this work in terms of picture quality. Basically what is upscaling and is there a big difference in upscaling than the native resolution. Or is it a waste of money and should i just buy a 720p tv and save about a thousand dollars and go with a 37inch. Since more sources right now support 1080i should i just stay with 720p now and get a 1080p later when the prices come down. and more sources support it thanks.
A. Well, to start off, you do not need an Elite to get 1080p from the 360. Really it depends on the TV. Some TVs allow for 1080p from Component, VGA, and HDMI, and some others only allow it from VGA or HDMI. Most of the older 360 games were made for a max resolution of 720p. Fortunately, the majority of the games made since about 8 months ago have the ability to show in 1080p.
Upscaling will take a 480i to 720p picture and make it look more like 1080p. It won't look exactly like 1080p but it will get it very close.
Lots of people will tell you to get 1080p because "it's better", but like you said in the beginning, it's all relative. If you are going to sit between 2 or 3 feet from a 37" TV then you might see some difference between the two resolutions. Any further back though and your eyes just can't tell.In other words, the bigger the TV, the better it is for you to get a higher resolution. Aside from the high definition movies and games, not much else is broadcasting in 1080p. So, in my opinion, if you don't need 1080p, don't get it.
