Today I saw a Sony Bravia 40" costing RM9,000 (720p & 1080i).

I was very impressived with the quality of the picture that I thought it was running a Blu-ray demo until I realize that they actually use a Sony DVD player! Not Blu-ray, not HD-DVD, but a Sony DVD player!

Sucks that we still don't have HD transmission otherwise that TV is a very worthy purchase.

Anyone got opinion/review on this TV? Sony Grand Wega KF-E50A10 at 50" & RM 5,999.

HDMI is a connection standard that supports Hi def video AND audio in a single cable. This means that a single cable can carry all HD signals without having degradation. So from your HDMI DVD player/Bluray/PS3 the connection to your TV will be directly using this cable.

What this also means is that with HDMI Hollywood can implement HDCP - which is an anti-piracy system that ensures that you can only see full HD resolution if you use HDMI. If you use other cables your resolution will be downscaled.

alright guys

Sony has just launched their full HD 1080p compatible BRAVIA SXRD rear projection range.Comes in 50,60,and 70" with 15k,20k and 30k prices respectively

check it out at sonystyle.com.my

I tried my xbox360 with my 42 lg plasma, i selected 1080i on the xbox console settings, and it works just fine. Does that mean that my tv supports 1080i ?

I checked the lg manual, but cant find whether it supports 1080.

1080i is supported by most 720p TV's,1080i is basically 540p.1080p however is beyond reach of all 720p TV's since its more than 2 times more resolution than 720p.

Huh ? Like that ar ? Ok thanx

1080i does not equivalent to 540p. 1080i is the same as 1080p except for the way it scan lines and total FPS. and 1080p is not 2 times more resolution than 720p, it's more 50% only.

1080i is 1080p at half the speed,therefore should be equivelant to 540p,and 1080p has more than 2 times the resolution of 720p.1280 x 720 =921600 1920 x 1080=2073600 meh

Then why dont they just call it 540p ?

Anyway, do u guys know where can i buy Dell lcd monitor other than ordering it online ? I prefer cash n carry.

ergh because its different from 540p?iguess so.because its interlaced,its only half the resolution of 1080p about 1.04 million pixels.Its an HDTV format though

oh didnt notice the p and i. So, i guess no one knows where i can buy dell lcd monitor other than online ? Or nobody reads this thread ?

half the speed, but at same screen size. try to compare video of 540p and 1080i at tv 40" or bigger, which one would look nicer?

if count bit by bit sure it's bigger, but by just looking at it, it look 50% bigger only.

how do you measure 50% by just looking at it? I take it u meant the width and length instead of square area? Also we can't exactly call 1080i as 540p since the resulting image is not 1920x540, but should still be 1920x1080 (broadcast 1080i is usually 1440x1080i instead), only the rendering method is different. 1080p renders full frames while 1080i in alternating lines.

Do take note that for games, a progressive scan is always recommended.

ya, by looking at the width and length.

Too bad....

Because I targetted the Samsung LN series.....

I think Samsung's LA series is the same series as LN only downgraded the dynamic contrast only.

LA has 5000:1 contrast ratio (dynamic)

LN has 6000:1 contrast ratio (dynamic)

I saw the SXRD RPTV's from sony Full HD 1080p!

beautiful!vibrant colours,and high contrast ratio saw the 60" panel,20k

Why is it i tested both 720p and 1080i for xbox360, but i dont see any difference ? Or my eyes cant detect

Your eyes need upgrade. Not ur TV. J/K.



Anyway, if the screen not big enough, it's qutie hard to tell the difference. But usually the interlaced scanline is quite noticeable if u look at text.

Oh it's 42" btw

Anyway, i read an article about HDTV, the human eye is another factor. Not every eyes can see the difference, bla bla bla. So i guess i only need to use 720p, since someone said progressive scan is recommended for games
