If I remember correctly the P in 1080P doesn't stand for Progressive Scan, it stands for parity so it's not the same as 480P or 720P.

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution,[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 dots across and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or about 2.07 million pixels. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (such as 1080p30, meaning 30 frames per second).
P for progressive. BTW, happy new year everyone, it's already 2007 here in Adelaide! party.gif cheers.gif Going to a joint to celebrate, along with fireworks show here.

You can still enjoy the scene even without touching the liquor.I still remember my upbringing and my folks' advice. Basically, i go there to reaffirm our Asian superiority that when i see these gwailoh drink, they are reduced to screaming, drunken, senseless monkeys and primates. Being not in control, to me, is a weakness, and liquor does that to these poor sods. laugh.gif Same goes to smoking too, to a certain degree.

I dont know about anyone, but im either blessed or cursed, depending on how you see it, with these 20/20 vision that able to discern differences, however minute, when it comes to resolution changes. Call me picky, or anal, but there are discernable differences when it comes to 720p, 1080i and especially 1080p, even on the 40inch screen. The problem is explaining to others who do not share this vision of mine about how i see it, they brush it off as me being anal about the displays. But those who had been to my home, knows how i game from close-up front, and any bump in resolution helps in cleaning up the images. I find that i get tired easily on watching 1080i images continuously rather than 720p, especially when dealing with games on the 360. Same goes with the PS3, but PS3 has 1080p to deal with as well. Wii? Wii is too much fun to get tired at. tongue.gif
