1080p TVs DON'T all have the same resolution? - Blu-ray Forum

honestly with all that goes into HIDEF and the great experience it brings, its all deceptive to the regular customer, at least the ones that don't do proper research. i wonder how many people get home, throw in a 2:35 oar movie and then freak about the black bars, or have no idea there tv was calibrated for a brightly lit store aka torch mode, or the kicker which i have been to a few peoples houses and found this in action, NO HDMI, and no clue what it is *smacks forehead*.

not tv related but i love when people are feeding their AVR with left and right analog, 2 of my friends were doing this until i got the call to ask why they couldn't change surround mode off of "that PLII thing" LOL.

i blame the people for not doing research on such a major purchase, i also blame dealers that don't properly educate their employee's.

Ain't that the truth. I was looking at woot.com's deal today (Philips 42" 1080p set for $799) and while I was scanning the comments, I read things like "So this is an LCD and not an HDTV?" and "720p and 1080i are broadcast, 1080p is 'blueray'" and things of that nature. J6P still doesn't "get it".
