That is a question that you have to answer. The newer TV's offer more than just the 1080p. Some were 60Hz refresh rate and now some are 120Hz and other are as high as 240HZ. Many now come with LED backlit and a slimmer design. These are just the LCD HD Televisions. You did not say whether you had a rear projection HDTV. In any case the longer you delay the more improved newer models with more features and a clearer sharper picture will become affordable. Even if your HDTV was a 52 inch 1080P LCD the new LED LCD could be worth it to some people. When many people upgrade a TV they just move the older one to another spot in the house. What your plans are with your older TV will be part of the calculated decision you are already in the process of making.

How do you convert from 480i to 1080i on a tv?
You can't covert from one standard to the other. If the HDTV is a 1080 type, it will display that signal when present and display a 720 when it is present. A 720 HDTV will never display a 1080 resolution picture, it will show the picture in 720 resolution.
If a sony blu ray player is set up at 1080p and is set up to a HDTV at 1080i will it play a blu ray disc with high definition sound and picture?
I have a sony bluray player conected to my tv by a hdmi cable only it wont work can anyone help me --------------- Go into the menu and set the output resolution to either 720p or 1080i and it should work on any HDTV that's not 1080p. If it doesnt, don't use an HDMI cable - use Red/Green/Blue (Component Video) cables to hook up to the TV. It will work fine at 720p. You will also need to connect additional red and white cables for sound.
How connect your ps3 to your Mitsubishi 73 3d tv?
It is very simple to connect the PS3 to the HDTV indicated. Purchase a HDMI cable for the connection of the PS3 and your HDTV. The back of the PS3 has a spot to Plug in the HDMI cable and the HDTV should have a few HDMI Inputs. Once connected and with the PS3 turned on and plugged in you may need to set the HDTV to the location that the HDMI cable has been plugged or it may already have the PS3 cross media bar. Go to your settings and set the video and HDMI to match your 3D TV. When set up right with the slim model PS3 the HDTV should turn on when both devices are off and you slide a game into your PS3. The HDTV should also switch to the PS3 whenever it is turned on by using the HDMI sync feature that you turned on under the settings menu. You may find that you also have to adjust the settings for your HDTV for this to occur.

How do hook up HDMI cable to PS3?
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.

Is it worth buying a cheap 1080i HDTV for playing playstation 3 games?
It's worth buying a high quality LED LCD 1080 P HDTV. I personalty don't see the value of buying a 1080i HDTV and feel that since HDTVs will last for years the LED LCD HDTV in 1080P is the best choice in spite of the higher cost. It may become worth buying a HDTV 3D, but currently they do not have enough 3D material and prices will drop

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.
