My question is how come my TV is able to display 1080i? Where does the extra 312 megapixels come from? And how come my dad's Samsung which have the same number of pixels can not display 1080i and can only display 720p. Thanks. Hello,

There is a Samsung 50" class 720P Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV available for a good price. However, we have been told that we should not get a big screen unless it is a 1080P. It also seems like some people prefer the LCD over the plasma? Can you tell us why? We use cable TV and would like to buy the most reliable television with the best picture. Can you help?

I have read all your postings and am beginning to understand it all. My question is the value between the Blu-Ray vs. a DVD upscaling. I have a Samsung 42" DLP with 720p resolution. I have HD TV and love it. In considering either the Blu-Ray vs. Upscaling DVD players. Which am I going to get a better picture from (a Blu-Ray dowscaling to meet my 720p tv-or a DVD upscaler that will convert/ upscale to a 720p)? I imagine the Blu-Ray because it is a better image downscaling to meet 720p - vs a 480i upscaling to a HD or 720p resolution. I am leaning Blu-Ray after all that I have read. Will I be able to tell? Obviously I will be using HDMI cables. Your information is very consistent and I appreciate that. I have read all your postings and am beginning to understand it all.

I changed the input on the 360 to a 1080p and it was working properply. I had a few minor issues with the color temp on the tv as it has only 2 options between a 6500k and native. The manufacture manual strongly reccommends using the 6500k but the picture seems much better on the native setting. My question is it ok for the TV to have the input via 'component' from the 360 at 1080p? and also does the color temp at Native really affect the lifespan or picture quality over a period of time.

The reason is that component video can't do 1080p, but it can do 1080i. If I were you I would run the audio to your receiver and the video straight to the TV just like you do now. Monster Cable sells a PS3 Component Video/Fiber Optic Audio cable that would work perfect for you. You mentioned that you were using SCART so I am not sure if you are outside the U.S. or not. If you are in another country, our manufacturers do not allow us to ship world wide. If you do live in the U.S. we have the Monster PS3 Component Video/Fiber Optic cable on sale, here is a <a href="http://www.4electronicwarehouse.com/products/monster/ps3-cvfo-10.html">link</a> to the page. Also, we can get you a pretty good deal on a Pioneer Kuro (again if you live in the U.S.) call our toll free number at 1-866-224-6171 (ask for Frank). David,

I have an oldish now but still good Denon 2805 (Ive always been interested in good audio)but the amp also upscales video signals in to component video out.I am about to invest in a new screen probably a Pioneer Kuros Plasma.At present I don't bother passing any video signals through the amp just connect the Sony DVD player/recorder (with an integrated digital tuner) to the CRT screen I am using via Scart RGB. When I get the new screen I will probably get a PS2 as a means to play HD DVD but will I be able to take advantage of the video upscaling in the amp to gain any benefits. The amp given its age doesnt have HDMI links. Grateful for any thoughts Hi I have found reading through your questions and answers really interesting.
