Sony Bravia 1080i or Samsung 1080P - Need Help - Blu-ray Forum

Brummydude · 03-01-2008, 06:41 AM

Im replacing my 19inch Wharfedale LCD TV with a bigger and hopefully better TV but im struggling with what to choose.

Its either a Sony bravia 32-37 inch With only 1080i but around £450-550 / Samsung 37 inch 1080P for around £650-700.

I use my tv for playing, watching blu-ray on PS3 (HDMI) and connect my virgin media box through scart. I don't know if I should save a few pounds and get a Top notch sony but not with full HD or go all the way and get a full hd Samsung. Is there that much difference between I and P to pay that much more? Would appreciate the help. Thanks

I'd go with the 1080p. Sony and Samsung make some of the best TVs out there. I think you'll be kicking yourself more later on if you don't have the 1080p.

doesn't matter which brand... get 1080P

Congrats, great choice! I've seen this one in action, pretty impressed with it.
I am thinking about upgrading my 1080i Sony at some point...

I'd rather have 720p than 1080i ...

So, without a doubt, get 1080p !

What model did you order?

I just made a move from a Samsung 32' 720p 3000:1 contrast to a Samsung 40' 1080p 25000:1 ... The old one was good .. the new one rocks

gordon cunningham · 03-11-2008, 12:52 PM

heres a tv that i came across while surfing. it is full 1080p and if anything goes wrong with it, at least its tesco your dealing with.

ps. the contrast ratio does not look that great, but for that price i dont think there is a better priced 1080p tv out there.

Brummydude · 03-11-2008, 05:54 PM

37 inch 8000:1 1080p is the one I've got. Anyone read the article on msn about some new super-hi vision thats being researched in japan. apparently 16 times clearer than HD. That would be a b*stard replacing everything but if its that good.

The way i can tell the difference with p and i is by changing the display settings on my ps3, which i have to to play different games.

Anyone know why SD digital pictures are so crap though and blocky.(through scart)

Yes. 1080p provides a sharper and more detailed image picture. 10800i provides a little less than that, but the difference is noticeable. I'd suggest getting the 37" 1080p. You'll love it.

Brummydude · 03-07-2008, 08:30 PM

The Samsung has arrived. just waiting to re-arrange my room around so i can get it set up. I will be pretty close to it due to this tv being in my bedroom, and my bedroom is pretty tiny 2bh. I'll let you know my opinion on the TV soon.

CptGreedle · 03-07-2008, 09:00 PM

1080p

Brummydude · 03-08-2008, 04:27 PM

Got the TV up and running. The HD Pic is nice on ps3.got to try and improve it though using the settings-thats going to be hard there's so many.
Still hate the moving dots like thing with some images.

Man advertising sure does work...it is brainwashing everyone to think anytime a tv is in 1080p it is going to be a better looking then a 1080i tv...some cases it is but any tv under 42" it isn't any better then 1080i...
