High Definition Television 720p

I just bought an LCD TV and want to hook up my Xbox (not my 360) to get the 720p I know some games are capable of. What do I need?

You will need High Definitin cables. My suggestion is Monster cables (Monster being the brand). These cables are have no equal and will preform beyond your wildess dreams. You can purchase them at www.gamestop.com, or other reatalers that carry stuff like that.

World Cup 2014 Qualifier, Season 2011-12. High Definition. By LionelMessi10i.

Some sets are 720p, and others are 1080i. Is there more to it than simply different resolution? If not, why doesn't everyone buy 1080i?

While there are many standards for transmission, a high definition fixed pixel (plasma, LCD or DLP) set only displays ONE. This is called the "native" format of the set. Watever comes in is converted to that format for display. ALL fixed-pixel set display in progressive-scan ('p') mode, even if the input is interlaced ("i"). So really, it all comes down to only TWO choices (not really that difficult) as long as you are considering one of the three types of sets mentioned above. There is 720p and 1080p. Until recently, 1080p was rare, and fixed-pixel sets were almost all 720p. Now, however you can get LCD (both flat panel and projection) and DLP (projection only) in 1080p. Again, the choice is simple: if you can afford it, 1080p is better. No need to be confused. Don't worry about what the station is broadcasting, it will look fine on your TV, and besides there's nothing you can do about it. Most of the time you won't know or care what's coming in, you'll just enjoy the beautiful picture.

Alright. I'm thinking about getting a 60GB PS3, but will only do so if I know I can play in at least 720p high def. Here are my specs: I have a Dell W3000 television (720p compatible) and a Motorola Digital HDTV box (to get channels in HD). I don't think the Motorola thing is needed. I was wondering if I got the PS3, what would I need to get it to play 720p HD on my Dell TV? Hopefully you followed me through that.
I was wondering if you just buy an HD cable and it plugs right into the back of the TV, because I can't find the spot on the back to plug it in.

you can pick up an hdmi cable for high def.
they usually run pretty cheap online. i know of a few web pages where they cost about $4 or so. i don't think we're alowed to post web pages of buisnesses and such, so email me if interested with the sites.

also is Viso a good tv maker?

I would say find a different one for a couple reasons.
1.) This item is refurbished. I personally never trust getting anything over the internet especially, that has been refurbished or if it seems to have been heavily used.
2.) Vizio is not all that great of brand. Samsung and Sony are way up there, and their products give you quality for the money that you dish out.

The broadcast industry is moving toward conversion of our system to High Definition Television (HDTV), a conversion which presumably will be complete sometime in this decade. This is good news. HDTV is better than EDTV, and much better than regular TV for two reasons. First, it increases the number of scan lines on the screen, so you get much more picture clarity and detail. Second, it gives you a wider picture that looks more like a movie theater screen rather than the old, almost square TV.

So how many more scanlines do you get? Well, there are two popular HDTV formats in use. One is called 1080i, and the other is 720p. But don't worry, there are no format wars to worry about. All digital projectors and digital HDTVs take both formats. The fact is that ABC, ESPN, and Fox broadcast in 720p, while CBS, NBC, HDNet and others use 1080i. Both formats produce great pictures that are a leap forward over regular television. And you will never know the difference. If you are watching Everybody Loves Raymond in high definition on Monday night, and you flip to ABC to see what is happening on Monday Night Football, your projector or HDTV will automatically switch from 1080i to 720p without you even knowing it. All you will be aware of is that both channels look a lot better than they used to with an amazingly clear and detailed widescreen picture.

For those who want a bit more technical explanation, we can say that both formats feature the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio that defines HDTV. However, the 1080i format has 1080 lines for each frame of video, whereas the 720p format has 720 lines. A lot of people think 1080i is preferred because it has more scanlines, and thus is capable of more picture detail. However, since there is so much data in the 1080-line format, each frame must be separated into even and odd lines and broadcast a half frame at a time in interlaced format, just like the current TV broadcast system. This can introduce the same type of artifacts as we see today, but they are smaller and less noticeable since there are so many scanlines.

The alternative HDTV format is 720-lines progressive scan, or 720p. Though it has fewer lines, the native progressive scan format eliminates motion artifacts that originate in interlacing. So for subject matter that contains a lot of rapid motion—NFL Football for example--you can get a clearer, more stable picture from 720p than you can from 1080i. Alternatively, for subject matter that has very little motion, 1080i is capable of rendering more picture detail.

The truth is that 1080i and 720p are both excellent HDTV formats. One is not better than the other; they are just each better with particular types of subject matter. When done right, both are clearly superior to the 480-line format we have today. And best of all, you will never have to worry about it because your projector or HDTV will sort it all out for you anyway.

And your question is what???

Anyway, for most, this is misinformation... 1080i is upconverted to 1080p on all newer 1080x sets, and even if you use the 540p argument, there's still more info in 540p than in 720p. This is bologna.

As someone who HAS to answer these questions all day????? What?! Littleone, nobody HAS to answer these questions.
