LCD listed at Display Format 720p supports 1080i?

Question

what does that mean?

Display Format 720p

Input Video Formats 480p, 720p, 1080i, 480i

soooo will it produce a 1080i picture, or will it convert a 1080i to a 720p?

Answer 1

That means it can take all types of inputs, such as:

HDMI

DVI

Component

S-Video

Composite

Coaxial

It will accept it as a 1080 i and reduce it down to 720p

It is a step down but not that much, if this TV is for games it will not show to much in the picture. Also in case you were wondering the difference in 1080p and 1080i is that i is integrated and p is progressive scan. P is always better, it allows for a smoother picture with less ghosting. So if you have the money, 1080p is where its at.

Hope this helps

P.S. Any contrast ratio you read is BS there is no good way to measure it

Answer 2

it will accept input of any resolution up to 1080i - then it will scale it down to 720p
