What does it mean to have 720P Display vs. 1080i Supported? And should I care?I was about to purchase a Toshbia 62HM94 62" DLP, but while reading through the specs I noticed this:
Broadcast Format Displayed: 480i (SDTV), 720p (HDTV)
Broadcast Format Supported: 1080i (HDTV), 480i (SDTV), 480p (EDTV), 720p (HDTV)Does this mean that the maximum resolution that can be displayed is 720P although it can receive a 1080i signal? I noticed all the DLP HD2+ televisions from Toshiba, RCA, and Mitsubishi had this 720P displayed, I guess it's a function of the TI hardware.
Should I care? Do any sets display say 1080i? If they do are the prices stratospheric?
I was also looking at the Sony 60" Wega LCD, does anyone know if this supports 1080i? I'm looking for a 60"+ HDTV for about 3K. I plan to play my Xbox on in which is why I was leaning towards DLP as opposed to LCD. Any thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks!
