Q. I am looking for a Cheapest HDTV which has a resolution of 1080i no matter the screen size is? Any idea?
A. I regret to inform you there is no such thing in the LCD/Plasma in the market that can strickly display 1080i in it's "Native" Format. Most tv's handle 1080P or 720P ONLY. There is ONE exception..Hitachi manufactures a 42" Plasma that has a "Native" resolution of true 1080i. That's about it dude. Good luck, Dan Futureshop Manager 15 years experience.
Is it true that you won't get certain TV stations(nbc) if you switch to an HDTV because they aren't digital?
Q. I have IO Digital Cable and am switching from a tube TV to a flat panel 1080i HDTV. I heard on NBC during the news about Christmas shopping and LCD HDTVs and which one is right for you, and I think they said something about not getting certain channels from certain broadcast stations because they aren't in HD yet, and they won't be digital until 2009(they said if you have IO you're safe from that switch in 2009), is it the same thing?
A. They are MIS-INFORMED....
All TV stations actually have a Digital transmitter right now....
BUT....
Not all TV stations transmit enough POWER from the digital transmitter to be RECIEVED in the entire market area they cover....
Such is the case in MY TOWN....
Fox does not transmit enough power to be recieved OVER THE AIR, and our local cable systems cannot pick them up at all....
So you end up recieving the LOW Def signal, but not the HI Def signal.
So the TV station is abiding by the FCC rules, and in 2009 they will actually turn off the old analog transmitter and POWER UP the Digital transmitter to FULL POWER....
But that sucks when you see some stations CIRCUMVENTING the INTENT of the rules....
