[AHHVTEC]

just wondering are all 1080p tv full hd and not integrated hd

 

[Briansol]

i = interlaced.
p = progressive.

i = line doubling. full 1080 = 1080p.
HD is 720p
full HD is 1080p




and Ian,
24/8 is the frame rate... not a typo for 24/7. lol
24p - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[AHHVTEC]

If you plan on buying HD DVD's then your gonna need to buy an HD DVD player but if you just want some basic shit, the 'up-convert dvd players' will convert regular dvd's to 'near' HD quality. I don't need to see or hear anything spectacular so basic cheap shit is good enough for me

 

[AHHVTEC]

well i hope im confusing the two between blue ray and hd dvd player, because the blue ray is hella high

 

[Briansol]

dvd = 480i/480p in progressive scan mode

true hi def can only come from a true hidef source, like a satelite box, cable box, or hddvd or blue-ray .

most cable/satalite broadcasts are 1080i

blue ray is the best at 1080p/24 fps


wihtout breaking th ebank, your best bet is to get an up-converting normal dvd player.
it takes 480p and turns it into 720p via line doubling.

 

[AHHVTEC]

i was kinda looking at this one it says its 1080p but i also noticed that the 1080i you can get for under a hundred bucks,

Toshiba 1-Disc Web-enabled HD DVD Player with 1080p output - Model HD-A35 at Sears.com

 

[Briansol]

that's an HDDVD player, not a DVD player.


even if you find a DVD player with a 1080p output, you're still limited to the dics's natural 480p recording. upconverting only goes so far.

 

[AHHVTEC]

ic now i think lol, for me to get the best im goa have to get a hddvd player or blue ray

 

[Briansol]

right, and then you need HD DVD's or Blue Ray discs... lol

i'd wait.

buy a $60 upconverting dvd player for now and call it a day.

 

[AHHVTEC]

thats prolly what ill do for now, but can i rent hddvds and play them on the upconverting players,or will the hddvds look just like the normal ones since the upconverting isnt the real deal, and just rent the normal dvds
