NoLiMiT06 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok guys I have a PS3 and Xbox360, both of them detect my tv optimum resolution as 1080p. Well my tv says its only 1080i, so my question is how are both consoles displaying at 1080p when my tv supposedly does not support that resolution? Should I just switch it to 1080i, 720p or just leave it how it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmah339 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 if they're displaying the games and such in 1080p with no problems, then you shouldn't really worry about it. i know my tv is only 1080i and i set my ps3 to 1080p and nothing worked after. if your tv is working, you're fine.

NoLiMiT06 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I know the picture does look different, looks more jaggy and colors seem much brighter and washed out. Just wanted to get some opinions from everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashel Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I believe it is because your TV supports 1080i input but then internally downconverts to 720p (its output resolution). As always, go with what looks best, the TV should go out of range if there is an issue. Now I've heard some people say that 720p in this case only the 'default' resolution but that sounds like an LCD thing that shouldn't apply to plasmas. That said, plasma sets should easily support multiple resolutions without any background hocus pocus up to its support max. Can anyone confirm/deny? Can you go 'over' 1080?

timmmay Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The specs on your TV state: Compatible Signal Formats 480p/720p/1080i Native Resolution (Number of Pixels) 1024 x 720 If I were you I'd be using 720p for the best picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Actually using it now just switched, need to tweak the picture some though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, I get my best image on my 768p panel using 1080i. Remember, there are no 720p panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardsim7 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I beg to differ, I believe some laptops come in 1280x720 resolution ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 OK, let me clarify; there are no 720p TVs (unless someone proves me wrong, but I've never even seen a reference to one). Since this was a thread about TVs, I wasn't really off anyway. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
