Somewhere In Northam Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 1080i aint full hd, thats hd ready
Baj Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 No offence, but why would someone buy a 720p 2nd hand when they could get a 1080p Sharp new for £9 more? http://mrwash.co.uk/sharp-37-lcd-tv.html?___store=default You're asking way too much
Jonnyboy Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 No offence, but why would someone buy a 720p 2nd hand when they could get a 1080p Sharp new for £9 more? http://mrwash.co.uk/sharp-37-lcd-tv.html?___store=default You're asking way too much Erm 1080i is virtually the same resolution as 1080p, it is NOT 720p (a lesser resolution) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i Ive played my PS3 on my 1080i TV and my 1080p TV and cant see any difference. But fair enough on the link, Id take £150 for it.
Jonnyboy Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 To be fair it is a few years old though - it was top of the range when HD telly's first came out, I believe it originally cost £3000 or something stupid.
Jonnyboy Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 That link doesnt work on your website Boj - the TV is not for sale and the postage isnt included.
Jonnyboy Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 Cheapest I can see on ebay are £250
Jonnyboy Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 Another good link: http://hometheater.about.com/od/televisionbasics/qt/1080ivs1080p.htm
Baj Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 99% of 1080i TV's actually only support 720p as their HD signal and upscale to 1080i, I bet yours is one of them. 1080i is a poor mans 1080p
Saint_Jonny Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Gone are the days of 1080i tv's I think, I was down best buy today and I didn't see a single unit that wasn't 1080p ready. And they were all immensely cheap.
Somewhere In Northam Posted 23 December, 2011 Posted 23 December, 2011 can't be arsed to explain it, but 1080i IS NOT the same as 1080p HUGE HUGE HUGE difference
Jonnyboy Posted 23 December, 2011 Author Posted 23 December, 2011 can't be arsed to explain it, but 1080i IS NOT the same as 1080p HUGE HUGE HUGE difference Fair enough 1080p are the best that are available now but I repeat - playing on my 1080p Sony my COD PS3 picture looks exactly the same so Id argue its a slight slight slight difference :-p Id also bet its a better TV that some newer crappily built cheap model like this: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/37-inch-full-hd-baird-lcd-tv-almost-brand-new-still-with-box/93524639
Jonnyboy Posted 23 December, 2011 Author Posted 23 December, 2011 "1080i and 1080p have the same 1920 pixels horizontally, but whereas 1080p is always full resolution vertically, 1080i varies from 540 to 1080 lines depending on what is on the screen and how well it's being de-interlaced. "
Baj Posted 23 December, 2011 Posted 23 December, 2011 You're showing a graph with no 1080i information, well done?
Baj Posted 23 December, 2011 Posted 23 December, 2011 "1080i and 1080p have the same 1920 pixels horizontally, but whereas 1080p is always full resolution vertically, 1080i varies from 540 to 1080 lines depending on what is on the screen and how well it's being de-interlaced. " Exactly, it's having to effectively scale via de-interlacing.
