Broadcast 720 or 1080? Now I wonder if tv shows which are HD are 720 or 1080?

Some networks broadcast in 720P and others at 1080i. I doubt you will be able to tell the difference. I imagine this Sony coverts everything to 720P.

In my experience, it depends on the station you're watching. Some have higher pixels, some smaller. Movies as a rule are truer to 1080.

You know i just realized this is a forum for the 720p model - I already have a 720p hdtv and I'm actually looking at the 1080p model. Looking for that one to drop another $100 (hint hint Amazon) before I jump in to get one.

Yes. 1080i gets converted to 720p as the TV's native resolution is 720p (it doesn't have enough pixels to display 1080 lines of information). But it shouldn't really matter, as the difference between 720p and true 1080i (or even 1080p) is going to be almost imperceptible on a 26" set.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

Hello Max: I own the toshiba dr560 and no the tv shows from unit tuner will not show in 1080, it upscales dvds you view to 1080 W/ component or hdmi cables.It does however do a nice job of showing hd channels and they can be set to fit the tv if you also can adjust aspect on tv too.I really like the unit it does what it says it does!

720p, but since it's only a 32" tv, there's no discernible difference b/w 720 and 1080.

I use it in 720 and, for my purposes (golf swing analysis), it is more than enough. I believe that you can still use 1080 but have not tried that as 720 is more than enough for my purposes. Could send a link to youtube but I believe that would be erased.

HDTV is definitly here. However, there is a cavet. An HDTV program not produced originally in an HDTV format (720p, 1080i) but what I like to call EDTV format (400i, 480p, 576i, 576p) and has been upconverted from EDTV to HDTV resolutions just can't compare to a natively produced HDTV program. There is alot of HDTV programming, but there is also a lot of EDTV programming out. While EDTV looks better than regular television, it only slightly an improvement. If you haven't seen your first high-definition image your in for a treat. 1080p is a bonus resolution that, at this time, is only supported by Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movies and computer inputs in all their glory. It is not necessary for broadcast or cable television, yet. The only gain to waiting a year is holding on to your money. Yes, the initial outlay for a television is expensive, especially if you haven't seen it in action, but once you have it and start enjoying you'll soon realize I am glad I bought the tv. Until broadcast television and high-definition movies increase the resolution past 1080p, a 1080p tv all your going to need. Just make sure you pay attention to the connectivity on the back of the set.

no one lying to you that model is 720p i have it also but... it might have a 1080i for blue-rays and other higher broadcast modes.

Yes. Set the player to output at 1080i. As you stated, your tv will dowconvert the signal to its native resolution of 720p.This is the setup I use and it works perfectly.

I have the box, and the info of the channel DOES show its broadcast on 1080 for the channels that are listed as HD in the channel guide. I can tell which are HD as the aspect ratio changes on those channels. The reception is awesome. I have a 12yo tv that I've hooked up the box via AV cables and the signal rivals what I'm getting from FiOS.

Just a note.. you probably already know this, but you won't get anywhere near HD with analog cable. You'll be viewing 330p on a 1080p monitor, so the picture will appear extremely fuzzy. Another FYI, you can view true digital high-def network TV broadcast for free with just an antenna.

This TV is not 1080p, it's 720p. However, it's generally accepted that on any monitor 50" and below the additional resolution isn't discernable.

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

720p, and a great picture. like you are looking out a window at the real world (especially if you subscribe to a hd tv provider).

It has 720p native resolution but does show in 1080 as well and has a wonderful picture. However, it is not a true 1080p which is why it only says 720p in the model description. Hope this helps.
