Question

i want know is this tv 1080i or not the model number is PHILIPS 37PFL5322D 37"

Answer 1

Your TV display has a resolution of 1366 x 768, which is close to the resolution of 720p, 1280x720.  Whatever comes into the TV is converted to the display resolution.  When it says the TV "supports" 1080i, that means it will accept 1080i as input, as well as the others listed.

Answer 2

if it supports 1080i, then it supports 1080i. What is the problem? If you're asking if it has a hd tuner built in so that it can receive the new broadcasting standard, then the question is "does my tv have an HD tuner"

to answer your question, 1080i is the term that determines that resolution of the picture and also whether or not it is interlaced or progressive. supporting 1080i and when the equipment is possible to display said term. that's the diff.

just looked up your specs. I don't know where you read that it supports 1080i but it doesn't. It probably converts that signal down to 720 and display it at 768, which is the maximum resolution. there is an hd tuner btw

Answer 3

you need a hd cable set up, such as hdmi, or component cables to achieve 1080i, as well as a way to watch high definition material. though it is, for sure, capable of maxing out at 1080i, it needs the proper materials to use its hd capabilities

Answer 4

Let me try to clear up a common misconception.

720p is actually a better resolution than 1080i.

The 'p' in 720p stands for progressive and gives you a full 720 lines of resolution every time the pictures is scanned.

The 'i' in 1080i stands for interlace and only gives you 540 lines of resolution every time the picture is scanned.  

I kept it simple, but you should know that your 720p set will easily display a 1080i signal.  It will actually have to up-convert (scale) the picture to a 720p signal to view on your TV.

Answer 5

I dont believe it is.

Answer 6

your tv has a true 720p resolution. At certain times it will show 1080i but most of the time will be 720p
