yup it can decode 1080p all the way threw 480i (1080i included)
It should be, in my opinion. The `I' for interlaced and the `P' for progressive really denotes the method with which the TV displays the picture.
Most modern LCD/Plasma TV's are capable of receiving and displaying 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals. Therefore your TV, if it can receive 1080i, should be quite happy with a 1080p signal.
The TV decides whether it is a "i" or a "p". The cable will pass both types of signals.
If the TV is 1080p capable, it will switch automatically when it receives a 1080p signal. Keep in mind that not all cable and satellite systems will have this service. Look for the INFO button on the remote to see what standard you are receiving.
If the TV is 1080i, 1080p or 720p, they are HDTV.
PS3 requires certain conditions for 1080P. Connection to a HDTV with 1080P capability with a HDMI cable and HDMI compatible TV set see related links
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.
Sometimes it depends in what kind of TV you have, some TV's prefere 1080i to 1080p for example. But if you have a very good HD TV then 1080P is the best resolution to pick for High def Xbox 360 gaming. Hope this helped.
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.
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.
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface which is a cable you can use to play game in HD 720p,1080p and 1080i on a HD full TV or HD ready
no it comes with the av cable aka the red white and yellow wires that plug into any of those compatible TV's that support it however i am told it looks better with a 1080p TV
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.
