What type of cables did you use to hook up the HD box to the TV? You will only receive high def on your television if you have connected the two devices using either component cables or an HDMI cable.

yup it can decode 1080p all the way threw 480i (1080i included)


When you push the recall button your HDTV shows 480i not 720p or 1080i is this HD programming?

480i is the standard television picture resolution and it isn't an HD signal. Your TV is telling you what it's reading from the signal. You may be able to change it, but then again, it could just be a 480i signal for that particular program. Just because you have HD cable or are getting HD off the air, not every program will be in high definition.


What are the specs for Wharfedale L1911W-A eg progressive scan 720p 1080i?

It runs my PS3 at either 480i/p, 575i/p (I think), 720p and 1080i. If I try and run 1080p there is a picture but the colours are distorted. It's hard to find TV's smaller than 40" that will handle 1080p and if you can I don't think they will be as small as 19".

Your tv box shows 1080p but when you put it on it is saying 1080i how can you change that?

HD televisions are capable of displaying a wide range of image resolutions and timings. Most larger HD televisions will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576i, 480i and each of these in several different field rates. The standard broadcast format for HD is1080i with 720p used to far lesser extent. The television shows "1080i" because that is the signal being received. It will only display "1080p" if it receives a 1080p signal. Currently, broadcasters do not transmit 1080p and have no plans to do so for a number of years from now. When playing standard definition material into the television, it is likely to display 576i, 480i or perhaps show the letters PAL or NTSC to indicate the standard definition signal format.


Why are HDMI cables so expensive?

HDMI cables do not need to be expensive and some of the most expensive can be purchased for huge discounts when on sale. If you do consider $20-35 expensive then you should also consider the whole 1080P system expensive, which it is when compared with the older 480i standard system and even the 720P / 1080i systems.


Panasonic model PT-61HX42F have a HD sensor in it?

no; the unit can only accept up to 1080i/480p/480i resolution. 720p and 1080p will not work with this unit what so ever. Remember component (red/blue/green) are still an analog signal because the frequency is too low to be a,"True High Def" (1080p).


Will a PS3 run on a on a non-HD TV?

Yes ther are 6 different resolutions your PS3 can play on. 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Once you hook up the composite cables or the HDMI cable it saves the setting automatically and therefore must change the settings again to go back to standard definition.


What if your HDTV will not stay in the 1080i mode why?

1080i is a signal format. Although most HD televisions have a display resolution of 1080 lines, this is different to the signal format of an incoming signal. When a television reports a signal format, it refers to the incoming signal. That is something outside the control of the television and is nothing more than an indicator. If the incoming signal is SD, then the television will report 480i or 576i. Whatever the incoming signal format, the television will reformat the image so that it can be displayed on the television screen, whatever the screen resolution is.


Does your 32f543 sharp tv support 480p or higher?

The television dates back to around 2005 so is a standard definition model. It won't support the HD formats of 720p, 1080i or 1080p. It will support 480i which is the standard definition format for North America. Note that 480p, as asked in the question, does not exist as a broadcast format and the television will not support it.
