24p = 24 (frames per second) progressive. The movies we see in theatres (old and new) are all shot on film at 24 frames per second which gives it the cinematic feel. Some newer movies (ie Matrix, Star Wars 1-3 etc) which are shot digitally, continue the tradition of it being 24p.

It differs from Plasma/LCD resolution/video signal which is typically PAL 25p/50i or NTSC 30p/60i.

I also get confused at times... too many formats

Quite true leh 'cos HDMI is a digital audio/video connector. and HDMI got some kind of DRM protection to allow you to play your blu-ray movies.

Like the article say using VGA connector will downgrade your resolution to 960x540 instead of 1920x1080 is true and no sound

There are HDMI extenders out there which works for projectors over long distances for example here : http://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%20extender.htm but I don't know where to get them here. Maybe someone can suggest a better alternative.

update: I'm not sure what projector you are using but as long as your projector is HDMI compliant then ok.

To add a bit more tip to this, please get better RCA cables lah.

Like they always say, which is true, a wire is a wire. However, adding extenders to lengthen your cables is generally not advisable. Cable for each signal from player to projector cukup.

Reason is if you notice that your video picture looks fuzzy or has uneven colour (projector is fine in this case), it's very likely cause by the end to end connectors. The other reason is bad cable. If possible, ask the guys at Jln Pasar to custom-make to the length required.
