What about a good reason to get a 1080p LCD TV ?

First of all, what IS a 1080p panel? The panel or screen display is what you are watching and it is built up of pixels or PICture ELements. Or, PIX. ELS. That is where the name comes from.

OK here’s the thing, the pixel count determines whether it can display a 1080p picture in native mode inside LCD tvs.
Why? The 1080p panel has a fixed pixel number of 2,073,000 pixels and can only display in that format, so everything that doesn’t fit the panel must be processed or expanded to fit.

It seems that everyone is buying a new HDTV set this year. Conversation around the water cooler is full of techy buzzwords. When the HDTV standard in the U.S. was originated by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee), they defined eighteen different standards, but not all of the standards are in common use.

The standards that you should be familiar with for HDTV (High Definition TV) are 720p, 1080i, and more recently 1080p. The number in the format (for example “720″) is the vertical lines of display resolution and the letter in the format (for example “p”) stands for the display technique. The letter “p” means “progressive” scan, and the letter “i” means “interlaced”.

The last big thing in home theater displays is shown the emergence of 1080p resolution. p stands for progressive, which fills the screen means all at once at 1/60th of a second, compared with i for interlaced, which means every other line, then the other half of the full picture, every area on the display of a 1/30th seconds .

At this time there is no source for broadcast 1080p programming. Instead, we have 1080i: two fields to a frame at 1/30th secondsfor each field.

Finger it out!
