Output to 720p? Does anyone know?

According to the manual on Panasonic's site you can set the player's output to 720p on HDMI or Component. It also seems to have an "Auto" setting for HDMI (I gather the TV will tell the player what it supports and it will pick the "best"). I don't own this player (yet... thinking about it) but since my own projector is 720p native yet supports (ie transcodes) 1080i, I'll probably wind up trying the two options (on any player I buy) to see which looks the best... no sense transcoding those bits too many times.

Technically no, but you can export them to a tv at 1080p if you get the docking accessory. Either way, watching a movie on a screen that size will show very little, if any, difference between 720 and 1080.

No. This unit has a 1366x768 (HD) display, 16:9 aspect ratio, Supports 720p content. Hope that helps you out. Have a nice day.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

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.

No, I use it through my computer and the picture looks over granulated. Other sources for 1080 and 720 hd works though =\

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

Absolutely not! I even tried a still image for about half an hour then checked a white screen afterwards. No IR or burn-in. I have had mine for about 2 months. I'm glad that I saved some money by going with 720p.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

The resolution is not listed anywhere in the manual, but I can tell you it is definately not HDTV.

The one I just bought does not do either. It's broken and I will return it. I had one previously that I broke, myself, by accident. It did video with audio and still shots. But with these suppliers, it is uncertain what you will actually receive, or if it will work. The first one I bought had higher resolution than was advertised 720p vice 640p, which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy with the first one and will probably send the one back and ask to have it replaced.

it will, of course, stay 1080p. the only real question is does it degrade the signal quality (which is what i was hoping to find out here). i guess i will find out once it arrives and i hook it up.

Hello, Yes 1080P 30FPS is the native resolution. It does continuous loop recording.

Has anyone had any problems with audio/video being out of sync? This reviewer had problems with this on the 720 model: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TPJCPHOD8OK8/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004QOA92A

No. The only thing you can choose is the video format... 1080 or 720, and some other video quality features.

When you download the video your viewer should be able (under info or properties) to show you the resolution - which should be 1280 by 720. if its 720 by 480 you have the standard cam. For now my advice is check because my supplier sent a standard cam as HD - I'm waiting to name names , as I am talking to them fix the problem and it may be an honest mistake.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.
