All HD televisions are capable of displaying both 1080i and 720p formats. They are both considered to be minimum standards for HD capability. 1080p is a higher data rate than the others and a few older HD models cannot handle the format. Any of the later HD televisions will also accept 1080p.
In all cases, the television will convert the incoming signal to a size to suit the native resolution of the television.
It is possible for the PS3 to upscale a 720p TV to 1080p quality. This is because the PS3 offers a built-in setting that can be turned off and on.
720p is the # of pixels the camera records at. 720p is HD, and the highest HD (usually used in tv's) is 1080p.
If the TV is 1080i, 1080p or 720p, they are HDTV.
The 1080p will produce the best picture.
It supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p. On my television it auto selects 720p unless I disable 720p in the PS3 display settings.
"The 720p means it shows 720 lines across the screen concurrently every 60 seconds, this leads to a resolution of 1280x720. Naturally, the 1080p shows 1080 lines, producing a resolution of 1920x1080. The 720p is more common than the 1080p when watching regular TV, it is usually preferable for sporting events. Basically, the 1080 produces a better resolution than the 720, showing more detail."
A TV can't display a resolution higer then it's max. Second, let's understand that the two consoles playstation 3 and xbox 360 both sends a true 720P signal. 1080P is actually a upconverted signal of 720P, so after knowing this, do we still want 1080P from our consoles?
Yes, probably. But the quality difference won't be noticeable... Yes you can have a 1080p source on a 720p panel. You won't be taking full advantage of the Blu-ray/ PS3/ Xbox360 but it will work just fine.
1080p is the resolution that should be used for a proector, because 720p in a prjojector would produce poorer image quality in a large size and would be overpriced as compared to 720p television.
If you are looking to get a nineteen inch LED television then you should get the one that is 1080p. The picture is very different between the two and you will enjoy the 1080p more.
Yes, a 1080p television is currently the highest available resolution TV on the market. They are better than 1080i, and 720p in terms of picture quality.
your xbox might be set to display 1080p and that's why it doesn't display on your 720 TVs
