In almost all instances the two screen types* will be defined as "720" and "1080" which denotes either 720 horizontal lines of resolution or 1080. The more pixels there are the higher quality the picture will be, so a television with 1080p will have a higher resolution than a television with 720p.
The letter "p" means "progressive" which provides a higher resolution than if you see the letter "i" which means "interlaced". If you have two televisions, one a 720p and the other a 720i, the television with 720p will have a higher resolution.
*due to standard screen sizes there is no 700p, only 720i or 720p
The numbers refer to the number of lines that form a television picture. The "p" stands for "progressive scan". They refer to the signal format and all HD televisions should be able to handle any of the formats.
Standard definition television in North America uses 480 lines but the "p" indicates that the source is likely to be a computer or other non-broadcast source. Broadcast standard definition television uses 480i which is a lower data rate and requires two fields to generate a single frame of the picture. 480 line images are also normally in a 4 : 3 aspect ratio.
High definition broadcasts use either 720p or 1080i. Both are considered to be full HD and both use the same data rate to deliver a signal. In these cases, the image is made of 720 or 1080 lines. The aspect ration is always 16 : 9.
1080p is the same resolution as 1080i but uses progressive scanning to build a complete frame on every pass. This requires twice the data rate of 1080i (for the same field rate) and is not currently available as a broadcast format. It is seen on local sources such as Bluray or games consoles.
yes the quality is quiet different 1080 is much better how ever the is litttle to no difference betwee 1080i and 720p but 1080p is the best
The difference between 720p and 1080p is in how many pixels are displayed across the screen horizontally and vertically. 1080p would have more pixels and thus the image on the screen would be clearer.
Yes, the larger the television size, the more noticeable the difference in pixalation.
HDTV can be a bit confusing since you can get different definitions. The difference between 780p and 1080p is the number of pixels, which are little dots that make up an image.
The 1080p will produce the best picture.
That is how many pixels the picture may contain, Here are some pixel sixes, 360p 480p 540p 640p 720p 960p 1080p
"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."
Every player can play at least 480p if not 720p
No it's not. You may be confusing 1204x720 for 1280x720, which is 720p and is a much higher picture quality than 480p. 480p is 852x480.Also 480p is a much smaller file size usually averaging 180MB for 45 minutes whereas 720p would be nearly 1GB.
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.
A PlayStation 3 can Play in 480i which is not HD at all. The PS3 supports these Video resolutions 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p (24p/60p) according to the Specifications from the related link
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.
ye3s if you compare it to cod5 then you can see a large difference
