• Blue Ray is 1080p? - jfz 09:05:27 02/22/07 (1)

  It's been my understanding that neither format (Blue Ray or HD) is 1080p. Am I wrong about that?

    There are technical differences as to how each format flags the material, but both formats encode up to 1920x1080p24 (there are also options for different resolutions and frame rates). So far, films encoded for both of them are 1080p on disc.

    Blu-ray allows for direct output of 1080p24 (no conversion/on disc = output, as long as the hardware and firmware allow for it), but HD DVD flags the 1080p24 material to be output as 1080i60. For HD DVD to output 1080p24, either the decoder must ignore the flags (not happening at the moment) or the 1080i60 output from the decoder must be deinterlaced and reverse telecined (36 repeated frames are excluded from output).

  I do like plasmas. As mentioned elsewhere, they have a glossy screen, so reflections in a well lit room are a major consideration. I never understood why they don't use glare free glass.

  I think you are headed in the right direction now. CR doent love those Pannys for no good reason, and they have studied tons of sets in great detail.

    I a mgoing to go to BBuy and ask them to hook up a Blue-Ray player to the Panasonic 60U. I am going to ask the kind saleperson to play a BR disc on the 60U. If i am stunned by the picture...no matter if it is taking full advantage of the 1080P signal(which it isn't)...i am going to get it.
    Oh, and i found it for $1699 at another b & m store nearby so will ask BB to price match.
    And who's CR?
