Question about my TV - Blu-ray Forum

BR7 · 12-17-2007, 03:10 AM

OK I have the Vizio 32" VW32L.Well for the longest time I thought it only supported 1080i. I was messing around with my PS3 and I went in to the Video output settings and clicked custom,it then notified me that my TV supports 1080p.I made the appropriate settings and then popped in a movie and sure enough when I pushed the display button on my TV remote it shows 1080p on the screen.The thing that gets me is that I can't find anything in the book saying this TV supports 1080p

so would this be false information I am getting or is it supporting 1080p?
Thanks

...since the pixel count is 1366 X 768, your TV is definitely not 1080p.

However it seems it will accept the 1080p signal, which is then converted into that 1366 X 768.

It is odd that 1080p is not even stated on Vizio's webite as a supported resolution.

"All TV formats supported (1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i)"

I believe this is a 720P display that will support 1080i

Most of the specs I see state 720P (supports 1080I)

"Brilliant specifications including 1366x768 resolution, integrated HDTV and standard definition TV tuner, all supporting the newest 1080i TV format! "

on Vizio's site

That's what was confusing me .Thanks for clearing it up

Man I have a 32" lcd VIZIO 720p/1080i and I can tell you the 32" VIZIO only supports up to 1080i. The VIZIO produces great picture though.

Go in to your PS3 Settings/display settings/Video Output Settings and after you select HDMI in the next screen select custom and then check 1080p it should work for you.Maybe it's the placebo effect but I could swear by doing this my colors are brighter and the picture is sharper.I have switched from 1080i to 1080p 3 times now and I can honestly tell a difference.I understand I am not getting the full 1080p experience but I can tell a difference between the two settings

Is there any benefit to playing a Blu-Ray signal into a standard (Sony XBR) TV? Is it even compatible?

Sony BRAVIA XBR HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1080p video inputs

So yes your TV would be compatible

Thanks much. Will Blu-Ray look better on this TV?

teddybaer · 12-20-2007, 02:58 AM

Or in other words, will Blu-Ray player & discs give me a better picture than a standard DVD player &discs on this TV?

You will never go back to DVDs once you start BLU.

dperrone · 12-20-2007, 03:11 AM

I haven't bought a standar dvd in about 4 months.....at least, I don't even remember. Once you go BLU, you will never want to buy another dvd again.
