Should i select 1080i or 720p




















The type of display is one part of the hardware. Other factors that contribute to the price include display size, availability of smart features, and screen type LCD or LED. In general, screens are cheaper than screens. Within the tier, progressive-scan displays are more expensive than interlaced. However, depending on other factors, these comparisons may not always be the case. The p and i models rely on old technology that is gradually giving way to higher-resolution options.

A p device offers the best resolution and viewing experience. However, for TVs that are 32 inches or smaller, you won't see much difference between pictures on p and p displays. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

As a result of scaling, the quality of the image you see on the screen depends on how well the TV's video processor works.

If the TV's processor does a good job, the image will display smooth edges and have no noticeable artifacts for both p and i input sources. A sign that a processor is not doing a good job is to look for any jagged edges on objects in the image. This will be more noticeable on incoming i signals as the TVs processor only has to scale the resolution up to p or down to p or p , but also has to perform a task called "deinterlacing".

Deinterlacing requires that the TV's processor combine the odd and even lines or pixel rows of the incoming interlaced i image into a single progressive image to be displayed every 60th of a second. Some processors do this very well, and some don't. Don't get bogged down with all the numbers and tech terms.

If these types of TVs are advertised as a "i" TV it means that while it can input a i signal, it has to scale the i image to p or p for screen display. With just a few exceptions, p TVs have been relegated to inches and smaller screen sizes.

You will also find a growing number of p TVs in that screen size or smaller as well but with 4K Ultra HD TVs getting less expensive, the number of p TVs in inch and larger screen sizes are also becoming less numerous.

I have a full P screen a new sony w , am i right in thinking that my choice of output is this 1. I 'think' option 2 is best as it is an easier job to take it from lines to lines rather than interlacing and deinterlacing etc, would this be correct?

Or maybe i am just barking up the wrong tree. I am just vtrying to make sure i am getting the best out of my set up. Cheers and thanks for your anticipated comments.

Feeding it i should be the best option , unless your de-interlacer is really bad it should do a better job than the double scaling of having the box downscale i and your TV then upscaling again. In any case it should be a personal choice for you , which looks the best to you?

When viewing a HD picture at P on a full HD screen you are losing a lot of resolution, more than lines of horizontal, and more than lines of vertical details is lost completely.

The TV then converts the image from P to P to display the image. Thats a lot of image processing going on, and the scaler in the sky HD box is not the best to convert to P from i.

When viewing a HD picture at i, the sky box doesnt need to do anything at all. My box is set to i. My tv is a tosh regza p. It makes sense to have HD box set to i. Hello all. By selecting p, your box will downscale to p hence losing loads of quality! And also, it's not as if your TV has to 'convert' between interlaced and progressive.

It's just a different way of building up the picture. Cheers everyone it seems option 1 has it by an over whelming majority. I do like i but i also like p The reason is the Over the Air HD broadcasts usually have a higher bit rate than cable or satellite.

So if you compare an p satellite signal to an OTA p you will see the same result even though resolution wise they are identical. I was watching Letterman in HD. Bill Cosby was the guest. I watched in i and then switched to p.

Bill Cosby's tie had a fine pinstripe pattern. In i and p, the tie was just beige in color, the fine pinstripes completely invisible. In p one could see the pinstripes in Bill's tie because "video noise" was generated by them.

In i, however, the tie and its fine pinstripe pattern was as crisp and clear and sharp as can be, no "video noise" whatsoever!
