Have you hear about 1440p?

Which is why I am perfectly happy with component(HDTV) cables and VGA (Projector) cables at the moment. Sure, it's nice that they're advancing technology and pushing what can be done. As great as HD looks, it isn't at the final stage where you can't tell if it is a tv or real, and that is something I do not expect for a good 10-20 years.
Nice link, Pacman. Are you saving your money for that 47 inch 1440p HDTV?

Not really, I wouldn't surprised if Sony will update on PS3 to support 1440p via HDMI cable.
 
I don't think 1440p is a standard because no TV network can handle it all because of the bandwidth. 720p and 1080i is more than enough. I think those 1440p HDTVs are great for playing DVDs or video gaming market.
 
Well, now that we have HD-DVD and Blu-Ray playing 1080p... I doubt we'll be going nuts over the 1440p anytime soon.

Heck, not even TV stations are airing 1080i or 1080p. Most HD channels are aired in 720p.

Correction, there are some TV stations around here broadcasting at 1080i, but not P.

what do you mean the different between i and P? i did not research much about them. LOL

interlaced (i) means the picture is scanned in 2 passes in odd and even numbers

progressive (p) means the picture is scanned in one pass....

if you look at a 480i TV (SDTV) You'd see some lines there. If you're looking at a computer monitor, it's basically progressive (P) because it scans in one pass. You hardly see some lines in the picture. 1080i looks fine on a smaller HDTV, but looks awful on a big HDTV since the picture is bigger and the interlaced lines can be seen easily. 1080p sets are better bet on bigger HDTV sets.

I hope I'm clear enough for you.

Yup... I watch tv shows in 480i since it was SDTV and saw alot of lines that run on picture, also seems more annoying but I have no options to change into 480p for watch tv shows on SDTV.
 
Yeah I heard about it and honestly, it does seem a waste to spend money on another HDTV that have the newest resloution so in watching TV and movies and games on 720p or 1080i/1080p seems more than enough that my eyes meet.

I'm already planning to buy a HDTV around next year and I dont want to think it was a waste getting a HDTV that have 720p/1080i on it.

Yup... 1080p is getting cheaper in next year or so since 1080i is used expensive in 2004.

Next year's holiday season should see some really good HD TV deals. I saw a lot of good deals this year, so I expect even better ones next year.
My Samsung 31' should last me a good 5 plus years. It has 2 HDMI in, and 1 HDMI out. I am not too obsessed at the moment with getting 1080p or 1440p for gaming.
 
Damn Moore's Law on computers has apparently infected the HDTV's!

I bought a 720p/1080i HDTV, now I gotta trade it up for a better one a few years down the road. Now the TV's are beginning to be like cars and computers, my ass...

Oh boy , televisions evolved so slowly from the 1920's until the '90s. From mechanical to 1953 NTSC color standards to the FCC's 2K9 digital tv standards, fine with moi. But then the main aspect of the HDTV/ATSC standards that Moore's Law is only going to affect is the resolutions and 1440p? thats way too ahead of its time considering we just introduced 1080p!

The general public who will buy DTV's in the future would like to take their time to adapt to newer standards. Ask RCA and NBC about how long it took for the public to adapt from Black & White TV's to full color TV's transmissions....13 years.
