  • Re: Video switching in a home theater system

    Welcome to the forums BigSing. BigSing: I have looked at some HTIBs, but I have seen some new reasonably priced receivers from Sony and Onkyo that also offer HDMI video switching. For a lower end system you could go with a HTIB system. I am not a huge fan of these simply because they are often pieces...

  • Re: hdtv

    That'd be plasma or LCD then. DLP is a projection technology.. And HDTV channels are great! The more the better, just make sure you have the proper cabling to transfer the signal source to fully enjoy the 1080i channels.

  • Re: Compression hdtv cox cable vs directv

    You are partially correct. Even other the air broadcasts are compressed. I also know that the compression does not make you lose any quality (otherwise it would not be called HD). It is like using WinZip. It does make the files smaller, but when you unzip (or uncompress) a file, all the information is...

  • 720p vs 1080i/1080p

    All: In the market for a 42" LCD TV, and was wondering if there is an extreme difference between a 720P and a 1080P image. I understand that true HD-DVD is 1080p, but is it worth spending the extra money for a 1080p TV? Shouldn't a HD-DVD image and other HD sources look just as good on a 720P TV? I don...

  • Re: 1080i vs. 1080p

    a really disturbing fact of the industry is that there are only 2 models of 1080p televisions that actually display 1080p true pixel for pixel, and each one is expensive, first one being the pioneer 50" 1080p and the second one being a Fujitsu 1080p. now i know what you're thinking "hes full of crap...

  • Re: 1080i vs. 1080p

    I don't think you need to worry about whether the 1080p will look worse, but rather if there enough of a difference to justify the price premium. A higher resolution screen should not make the image look poor because of the screen resolution. When folks purchase a 1080p television, however, they typically...

  • Re: 1080p tv / 1080i cable box question?

    Good question River. If your Sharp Aquos is a true 1080p, it displays all inputs signals at 1080p. Because this is the native resolution of the display, all videos sources are scaled to what the screen can produce. You may have 1080i from your cable box, 480p from your DVD player, and 480i from any other...
