1080i vs 768p - Blu-ray Forum

browndk26 · 03-04-2011, 03:03 AM

What would have a better picture. A bluray player connected to a 1080i RPTV or a 768p LCD TV?

You have not provided enough detailed information about the two TVs to suggest an informed judgment. Please elaborate.

768? Never heard of that before. Need more info.

See family room in my sig. Technically my LCD's resolution is 768. So 720p.

I think it is 6 of 1 half dozen of the other. You get more lines of resolution at 1080i but there only shown half the time. 720p you have less lines of resolution but you see them all the time. It should not really matter which setting you have it on.

When I had a 1080i TV I could never use the 1080i settings because there would always be lines through my Blu-ray's when played through the PS3.

You don't appear to want to be very helpful, forcing me to do research online on your behalf. I'm not very inspired to assist you, if you refuse to provide basic details about your TVs. You are certainly very familiar with your equipment. However, I haven't memorized all of JVC's model numbers and characteristics. I am reluctant to waste time speculating about unknown issues you could reveal, nor will I beg you to supply the necessary performance related characteristics.

I'd say the 1080i would be better. I used to have a Sony LCD that was 768 [or 720p] res. With blu-ray and DVDs upconverted via a DVDO VP50, I fed it both 720p and 1080i signals. To my eye the latter though downscaled to the tv's full res capability looked much better.

What detailed info should I give you on the TVs(upscaling, noise reduction, etc). No offense but I don't understand why the details of each TV would matter much. The question is which type of TV do you think would provide a better picture with a blu ray player connected to it? A RPTV at 1080i or an LCD TV at 720/768p?

All RPTVs do not perform the same. All WXGA LCDs don't perform the same. Resolution is not the most important metric for picture quality. What type of RPTV is yours? There have been CRT, LCD, LCoS, and DLP RPTVs made over the years. It also depends upon the type of input used to connect the BD to the TV (HD component video or HDMI/DVI-D). Have either of the TVs had a professional quality calibration done? Some TVs can be calibrated to produce a much better picture than is possible just tweaking the user controls.

It is a CRT. Video connection will be by component cables. Neither TV has been professionally calibrated but I have used the Spears and Munsil calibration disc on the LCD.

Stick with the 48 inch until you buy a new TV.

Overall, the CRT should deliver the best picture quality from a 1080i signal sent from your BD player over component video cables.
