i've just got a xbox360 with the hdmi cable.
so i tried it on my LCD(sharp aquos).

but i can't seem to be able select the 1080p option(it's grayed out).
Only 720p and 1080i are selectable.

why is that so? help out plss everyone, anyone.

Your LCD isn't 1080p compatible

afaik u'r monitor not full HD

that might be true, but i was pretty sure it could.
anyway, thanks for the quick replies.

just check ur tv spec to be sure.

uh, u mean the former rite?

if thats the case, which would be better, 720p or 1080i?
please help, much appreciated.

720p is reasonable already coz most games are coded on that resolution.

IINM, it's practically the same 1080i and 1080p if ur tv is below 40"

alrite, ive just checked out the specs on the web, it seems my 32" LCD is only able to support till 1080i,
those with 52" and above only can support 1080p. wth didn't know that.
i thought both 1080i and 1080p is having the resolution of 1920x1280.


anyway, so using 720p is good enough huh...
well, i wanted to play games in HD thats why... feeling kinda down now.

i and p is not resolution bro... regardless it's i or p, it still using same resolution.. the 480,720,1080 is the resolution.

haha..it's the same thing...720p=1080i

most games are coded on 720 anyway...no need to be down

720p>1080i

i agreed
most of xbox360 use 720p as native resolution. they just upscale to 1080p if we use that resolution.

My lcd tv bravia 32' can support until 1080P, no problem so far

I think its 1920x1080

resolution :

from the worse to the best



480i
480p
720i
1080i
720p
1080p

if you are using a 32" and it supports 1080p, means it's downscale to (720P <) , it just accepts the signal but does not give u actual 1080p .. however
if ur 32" is 1080p version, it will definitely cost u around RM3k-4k.

Last I checked, 720p is still HD. So, no reason to be down.

yeah and most games are at 720p anyways.

It's funny people crying over 1080p yet don't understand the term HD. And redbull who gave wings got it right, most games are 720p only

ppl just want to be in the hype but dun fully know what they're hyped about

even the game is in 720p, its quite hard to notice the differences if you are using lower than 40 inch tv and sit about 5 to 6 feet away.. playing a fast pace games..

what a shame

1080P works well when watching blu ray movies but must be 32" above la 2 really experience the video quality.

Yeah price drop already, last time Samsung 32" 1080p cost 4k.
Nowadays you can get LG 32" 1080p at around 2.8k only.

with a 32" ithe difference between 720p/1080i/1080p is meglibible unless ubeing nitpicky from about a viewing distance of 3 feet (not recommended)

My previous set up was a 32" Bravia which was "only" HD-Ready. It was all good

i still think if for gaming setup 1080p is not very important. as long LCD is HD ready is good enuf.

bro i dun think its the same thing.. my HP w2408h can support 1080p but not full hd. 1st i was using 720p and my graphics are abit blurred. then i tried to switch it to 1080p.. everything is more sharp and clear

IMO ps3 will automatically select the appropriate resolution settings according to the game.

no nid to go into games.. at xmb menus u can see it clearly

^thats is your problem. if u select 720p, your screen will be stretch to full screen cus your monitor is 16:10. u cannot compare with true 720p 16:9

Actually it's bcoz his monitor is 1920x1200. On a typical lcd screen anything other than the native reso will appear blurry abit hence the reason 720p would look better on a HD Ready lcdtv than on a lcd monitor that has a reso higher than 1280x720.

easy...check ur monitor resolution when u're in game...i tried with samsung 2233sw...i set it to 1080p(d monitor supports it for sure) in the XMB screen
there is a menu screen that displays the resolution and frequency, now is 1920x1080

when i start the game(i.e. naruto or other 720p games, it'll auto switch b to 720p) the image seem softer
then i put in a 1080p game(i.e. GT5p), i'll get 1080p which image is sharper

the sony thingy mentioned, i guess its kinda marketing gimmick to me...
they stated 1080p compatible, its jz that simply means it "ACCEPTS" 1080p signal den downscale it to 720p/1080i
the panel itself's resolution i believe its only HD ready, 1366x768

there is no nid to debate 720p or 1080i which is better, trust ur own eye..which setting u prefer, den stick to it

^most ps3 games re native 720p. 1080p compatible mean it upscale to 1080p if we have lcd tv/monitor that capable to display up to 1080p. if we have/set to 720p, the display is perfect. no upscale/downscale. thats what i understand.. correct me if i'm wrong.

You are contradicting yourself

for me 720p is good enuf

excuse me u dont know w2408h can do 1:1 pixel mapping. so i hav black bars on the top and bottom.. and this equals to 16:9 isnt it? =)

Added on February 11, 2009, 5:44 pmnot full hd but yet your ps3 could upscale it to 1080p u guys dunno o?? @@ dunno how to explain to u guys leh

he actually meant that your lcd is actually Full HD capable. Full HD = 1920x1080, your monitor is 1920x1200. So your monitor > Full HD.

okla tuu... full HD..
720p dah ckup baguz da

IMO u can get the best picture quality from your LCD on its native resolution,PS3 cant give any res more than 1920x1080,so image will certainly be blurry.

thats why i use 1:1 pixel mapping lo. tried on both 720p and 1080p. definately got big different!!
