HD quality questions - Blu-ray Forum

Beta-guy · 08-09-2007, 08:24 AM

I have a HD TV that displays at 1080i but I've heard some people claim that 720p is better then 1080i is this true, if so could you explain how?

also I heard people talk about the quality in audio differant not that the audio is uncrompressed but I really can't hear it is there something I should be listening for time fully realize the clarity of uncrompressed audio?

1080i is interlaced, 720p is progressive, progressive shows fast moving images more clearly, however I found that watching movies in 1080i they look better, while games play better in 720p, all preference really.

I would get into the really technical aspect but you can google it if you would like high detailed info on the subject, but this was just the basics.

for the video is your tv has a native resololution(the resolution it was ment to display) of 720 then chose it over 1080i the espection of course would be if your tv onlu displays 1080i then it is teh ebst chocie lol

some people have argued that 720p and 1080i are almost the same. i am not one of those, upgrade to 1080p
