Almost all TV broadcasts are still in 720p or 1080i, so a 720p set will handle them fine. Far less bleed, brighter and more lifelike images, on a frame-by-frame basis. Colour is FAR better with an HD source due to the way that the colour information is encoded.
You will only get the full benefit of a 1080p HDTV if you are watching 1080p content. davegoody said: The way colour is encoded (or color for all you Yanks ) is far different between, say an NTSC encoded DVD and a 720p MKV file for instance. But, there are actually some good reasons to choose 720p over 1080p: Input source. Sharp is not a bad tv, but a little overpriced imo. So, it would seem that 1080p is clearly better, and 720p is not really worth considering. Lastly look a that Sony 720p Is under $700 and a better tv than the Sharp. Just about any Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, Panasonic blows that TV away with performance and Price! And I m talking 32' !!! You can get a bigger, better tv for less money. I know someone that bought a 26' 720p lcd about three years ago and paid $1300. Not with just features, but with performance. It seems every year they are outdoing the previous model. They have a new 720p with a better contrast ratio for $999. Are you wanting to burn the 720p file to the DVD If you are burning the file to the DVD and the DVD player can read that format. But the 1080 looked better on some scenes of the demos they had running.Īlso be careful because that Sharp 720p for $798.99 is the older model. Question for you guys.If I burn a 720p or 1080p video to a standard dvd, then play it in a blue ray player (on a 1080p flat screen), what level am i now. Sony 720p, Toshiba 720p, and then a Sony 1080p 120mhz. By contrast 1080p/30fps games are largely given a free pass despite requiring almost exactly the same amount of power. And they had three TV's next to each other. Im seeing this sentiment around here a lot, with some users using the 720p games as proof that the consoles are weak, even though all of them (AFAIK) are running at 60fps.
Click to expand.I can tell you that you can see a difference (on a 32') between a 720p and a 1080p 120mhz Was that 32' a 1080p 120mhz or a 60mhz?
