Perhaps they have 1080i inputs only? For instance the new Philips 1080P LCD panels come with interlaced 1080 inputs and 720P, but they don't accept 1080P signals. Believe there are other displays that have the same issue. d. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Barry" <trbarry@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 3:07 AM Subject: [opendtv] Re: 20060117 Mark's (Almost) Monday Memo Manfredi, Albert E wrote: > Mark Schubin wrote: > > >> - This story from Connected Home Media I liked for one >>of the headlines.

I'm running an AVS poll on that very subject right now for those that recently got a 1080p display for Xmas, or wherever. The results strongly suggest (against my expectations) that deinterlaced 1080i is superior. Though the number of respondents is still small (30 with a 1080p display). See: <http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=621591> It is always a mystery to me why 1080i continues to do so well but it often looks better to me too. But I don't have a 1080p display yet. - Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
