Exactly, but the distance must be within the human limits of vision or 1080p/720p are indistinguishable. The reason I say monitors are a different story is that normally you sit much closer to a monitor than a TV and as such the higher resolutions were available in smaller monitors before they ever became available on bigger TV's.rastan

[QUOTE="Couth_"]The difference is the refresh rate. The Bravia is 120Hz (twice as much as the Samsung) which means the colors change twice as fast, to make for a sharper, more clean image. 120Hz is one of the newer features on TVs, and it'd better to watch Blu Rays inTheSystemLord1

oh sweet. I was curious becaue I wanted to upgrade from my Samsung 32"720p TV. I was saving the money to buy a bulldog puppy but those puppies cost more than the hospital bill when I was born.Another thing there is a Sony TV that is 32" 1080p with the refresh rate of 120hz but I heard from people that 1080p is not worth it with anything under 40". Is that valid?

Up until recently very few TV's under 40" were 1080p. Monitors are a different story. Size does have a lot to do with it in that the human eye needs to be within a certain distance for a set size TV to be able to distinguish the difference between 720p and 1080p. Monitors have had it on smaller screens longer as usually you sit very close to a computer monitor so the difference is noticeable in the larger screens available today (That still doesn't mean you necessarily want a 12" 1080p screen as that would make for some very tiny details that would be hard to see). For a 32" set, you would have to sit closer than 4' from it to see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Here's a reference chart http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.htmlrastan

Okay so the thing is that I bought this 32" Philips TV (Philips PFL5404h 12). I was told at the store that it's HD-ready (only capable of 720p output? The product info says that it has a 1366x768p HD LCD screen). Now the PS3 and the 360 put 1080p as the default resolution. I can also choose 1080p through VGA from my PC. I'm wondering what's up? The TV's info screen also states 'HD 1080p' as the resolution (I'm running Jet Li's Fearless Blu-ray atm) and the internal manual says that it indeed has a Full-HD screen.

My sister has a 32" HD-ready Samsung and 720p is the highest resolution it can output. Can anyone enlighten me with this issue? Does it just downscale the picture or what?

I can get 1080 on my 17" CRT Monitor from my PS3 with a Signal Transcoder that converts Component to a VGA (15pin HD DSUB).

I said the resolution of the tv. 1680x1050. Of course its not 1080p, its a 1050p set. It does accept and display 1080p content, though obviously its scaled to fit the screen. I'm saying his tv can accept 1080p inputs like mine and scale them.

... For some reason that sentence kind of makes me hate you. I SAID ITS NOT A 1080P SET. Neither is FS's. IT CAN ACCEPT 1080P INPUTS. What are you not understanding here?

Although that may be true, the same devolopers are putting games on 360 1080P but only 720P on PS3? whats with that, can you explane that (some examples are the orange box GRAW 2)

I hope you know that the 360 doesn't output true 1080P but only upscales the image of a 720P source. It's in most cases almost physically impossible to have a 1080P game on a regular DVD.

I'm not trying to bash 360, but from what I have heard, the system cannot play 1080P nativley and has a scaler that scales games from 720P up. Although to scale you need HDMI thus the Elite was born.

It needs the HDDVD drive to do that however, which is exactly what I meant. It needs to upscale 720P, but if it had a HDDVD drive it can play 1080P movies.
