Umm...hopefully I am wrong about this, but am I the only one on the forum with a resolution high enough (2048x1536) to watch 1080p video without scaling it down to fit the screen? I hope not, because JESUS IT IS BEAUTIFUL. H.264 IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD, or at the very least MY moviewatching...although I have personally been ripping DVD to it for about three months now, ever since D-Vision 3 started supporting it...Full 780p DVD, no compression, 192K VBR MP3 audio, all for the low low price of 989Mb-1.12Gb per file :woot:

WARNING: IMAGE IS HUGE. And I mean HUGE. (Pixel-wise. Sizewise, its not too bad.)

(Also, sorry for the ImageShack link, I didn't want to compress it because that would ruin the purpose of showing it...and the filesize limits on Neowin apparently aren't big enough for me to post my DT without compression...oh well)

BTW WHEN THE IMAGESHACK PAGE LOADS, PLEASE CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE IT IN THE NATIVE RES.

You think that's good.  Try watching that on a 61" HDTV.  It will completely change your computing.  I don't care high high res your computer monitor is, watching it on a massive screen with no quality loss is a site to behold.

But yeah, I know what you mean ... H.264 is rediculous.

His 30'' cinema display is a lot better quality then an HDTV....

And its 1080i, not p.

I love how every mac user thinks HD is brand new, there has been a windows media HD site since WM9 came out...

And there has been mpeg2 HD since before that, but the file sizes of h264 are actually something that can be downloaded quickly with a normal broadband connection.

1080i is regular HighDef you get on TV... H.264 is 1080p.

Actually I haven't been to impressed with h.264... my mac can't play the nice high res stuff, so I'll wait to reserve which is better (wmv or quicktime) later...

All i can say now is that I've been blown away with WMV HD since I first saw it at full fps last year... comon apple release QT7 for windows !

I agree that the 30" cinema display is amazing ... it's just much more impressive seeing 720p in 61" of HDTV glory. Trust me, 30" is great but you don't actually use your peripheral vision like you do when you are sitting in front of a 61" screen about 3 feet from it. It's well, you get the idea.

would it be better to watch your 1080p with the 1920 x 1080 resolution? then your 2048x1536. is that at 60 hz or 30 hz (like 1080i) ?

im wishing i had a mac now, but im cool with my 1.2 Ghz PC and HDTV wonder, no problems with HDTV or HD playback, WMV HD (1080p also)...another story :pinch: quicktime 7 HD, not even going to try until i have a new PC :laugh:

Actually, if you look in my sig, I DO NOT have the 30" Cinema display...its a 21" CRT. SGI Workstation monitor.

H.264 is a compression format, not a resolution! H.264 is a flavor of MPEG4 compression that COULD be used to compress 1080p.

Normal Hi-res TV content - today - is 1080i (interlaced) in MPEG2 format. The only 1080p content (in MPEG2 or H.264 compression format) is just upconverted 1080i content.

There is not one broadcaster today putting out content in true 1080p format; also, there are only a couple TV's that claim they can handle 1080p.

I never said you had the 30" monitor. I said "the 30" Cinema Display is amazing" specifically because I wasn't sure if you had one or not. Also, I don't view sigs so I couldn't have known that you have a saweeeet SGI monitor (now that is impressive).
