Roughly how much does a Samsung 1080p LCD HDTV cost?
A Samsung 1080p LCD HDTV television would cost roughly $500 for a 39 inch set. The cost will be less if a previous year's model is purchased just before the new ones hit the shelves.
Why is your 1080p television showing 1080i?
It's to do with the resolution. The 1080 identifies the number of lines that create the image, so 1080p and 1080i have the same number of lines. The letter stands for the type scan the TV uses. The P stands for progressive and the I stands for interlaced. Progressive will process the image twice as fast as interlaced and therefore produces better colour and clarity.
Do 1080p TV sets convert 1080i signal to 1080p format?
All LCD displays use progressive scanning, namely the whole frame is built up line by line rather than odd lines followed by even lines. Therefore, by default, 1080i will be converted to 1080p, but at a frame rate of 25Hz or 29.97Hz. 1080p sets take 1080i cable or satellite signal and convert (deinterlace) it, creating a progressive scan, meaning the picture is painted from the top to the bottom line (there are 1080 such horizontal lines) in a single pass, and this process (in the US) happens 60 times per second. 1080p is normally run at 50Hz (Europe) or 59.94Hz (North America). 1080i is normally half that frequency. Even if the signal is converted from 1080i to 1080p, there is no additional picture information and therefore, little is gained by the conversion. If the television actually does the conversion, it is worth doing a comparison between converted and unconverted to see which produces the most pleasing results.
Will a 1080p signal work on a 1080i tv will it downconvert?
1080p signal may not work on a 1080i TV set. You may not get a picture, but just a blank screen. And that blank screen will not let you undo the changes because you cannot see anything on the screen. In this case, you may have to make an analog connection, such as a composite video connection, to your TV set just to undo the changes you have made. Or you have to press a combination of buttons on the 1080p signal source to restore the picture. I suggest you read the documentation that came with your 1080p signal source.

Do satellite TV companies offer 1080p signal in the US?
As of summer 2008, all satellite and cable companies in the US transmit only 1080i digital signal. When a cable or satellite service is used, there is no advantage of 1080p TV set over 1080i TV set. However 1080p sets usually come with some other more advanced specifications, which may make the image higher quality. Cable and satellite companies do not intend to upgrade the 1080i signal to 1080p in the near future, since this would involve high investment outlays and greater broadband capacity in their network. 1080p TV sets can fully utilize their potential when blue ray discs are played from DVD players.

What is the difference between hdtv and 1080p hdtv?
HDTV is the term for a range of television formats. The common formats in use today are 720p, 1080i and 1080p. There are other resolutions that can also be classed as HD but are not in use today. Each of the resolutions can be delivered at a variety of frame rates. 1080p is just one format in the HDTV class. It uses 1920 x 1080 pixels and the image is created by a single pass of the screen from the top to the bottom of the image. Contrast this with 1080i which requires two passes of the screen from top to bottom to create a full and complete image. 720p and 1080i are the two formats used for broadcast at present. 1080p is found in local sources such as games consoles and Bluray discs but not yet in live broadcasts. Any HDTV will handle any of the HD formats without any user set up required.
