In Reply to: Most HDTVs have 768 lines today posted by Tommart on March 26, 2006 at 20:02:21:
Despite the fact that it automatically upscales everything to 1080p, I find DVDs look better if they are upscaled to 1080i before going to the tv. I tried having the player upscale to 720p, but 1080 was better. The Oppo has a better upscaler than my Sony LCOS set. The Sony has a good deinterlacer though.

There's a big difference between a HDTV that:Supports 1080i, but in reality needs to downconvert it to 720 or 768 to fit the screen resolution,
And a HDTV that has 1080 line resolution, and doesn't need to downconvert.
Actually, it's more complicated than that. Most 1080i HDTVs actually process two 540p images. To fit these alternating images on an HDTV with 768 lines requires a great deal of manipulation.
In a year, most new HDTVs 37 inches or larger will have 1080 lines. Thank goodness.
But doesn't accept 1080p input. As I understand it, the chips alowing 1080p input either weren't available, or more likely, they were more expensive. For me its a non-issue.

That's the difference in price between 1080i/720p and 1080p for Silicon Image HDMI chips.
That's why they can charge you extra $3k for the 1080p chip that cost $3 more to them.
SI wants $3 more for the full HD capable chip (1920x1080p). The manufacturer -- not SI -- decides what value that gives to their product.
