I read that the pentile pixelation does not make this a true full 1080p HD TV. Is this true? Thanks.

That its not true . The pentile pixelation does make a true full 1080p HD TV .

That's incorrect, it is a true 1080p screen. The only difference is how the pixels are laid out, and I can say with confidence, the picture is amazing. I think most people's experience with the pentile display is with tablets and smart phones, where you are mere inches away from the screen and the pixels become noticeable. On this 60 inch screen, if you're less than three feet from the screen, you do notice the pixels. Beyond that, however, the picture is incredibly sharp, crisp, and vibrant. Pentile also uses less energy than regular displays, which saves energy costs, and the screen produces almost no heat.

I have 2 und8000s' and They do have better picture quality then the f5500 but for the price you can't beat it. The picture could be better but for the apps and update content on it I would buy f5500 over the 8000

Pixelation = artefacts?Latest Update installed on TV, sorce connected via HDMI and watching either in 'Professional' or 'THX' Mode I cannot recongnize any artefacts. Do you see 'pixelation' only when watching TV channels via cable box? How is the picture when watching BluRays or DVDs?

I'm pretty sure this is 1080p. When I checked Vizio's website it says that its 1080p. Here's the link:http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/vm230xvt.html

WAOOO zachary, i think you are wrong. i got mine and for my surprise it is 1080p. i have a hd dvd player and it is capable of handling the 1080p. My xbox 360 display the image at 1080i, and my HD signal too.So i dont understand why you said that this TV is not 1080p?IT IS...

Hi Jason, I tested it at 100" screen (wall yet) with no notice about pixelation. Nothing visible. Enjoy it!

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.

I have it now installed on my 1080p samsung tv. It's very sharp looking.. Very sharp.. It was so sharp looking that I bought another one for my bedroom tv.

My understanding is it is 720p. When looking at TV this size, 720p was still the most popular in my search. It will take 1080p in, but then down-scale it to 720.

The TV has a native resolution of 1280x1080 so it is full HD. You don't get any better than that unless you buy those 4k; which would be ridiculous because beyond 1080p the human eye is not capable of telling the difference. As far as the colors go it is not the very best, but it is top tier and you won't notice any lack of vibrancy. I have played Wipeout HD in 3D and it is flawless.

Greg, I am also watching the Olympics on Comcast HD and not experiencing a lot of the pixelation you mention, mostly during the fastest figure skating spins, and camera moves on other sports. In fact, I am blown away with the picture on this event. I have not changed my 120-Hz (whatever its called) setting from the factory preset, and it would be the only thing I suggest looking at. I also have the picture set on "Movie" mode, the others presets are just too saturated, bubble-gum colors... though I doubt that makes a difference. Hope you can resolve this.

If you are getting pixelation it is coming from the SOURCE material. Having a display that is better than almost all the material available can be frustrating but when fed the proper diet the results are breathtaking. If you have access to an antenna when the broadcaster cranks up the signal such as during a big event like the Super Bowl or a quality bluray player and disc, you will scratch the surface of the set's capability. Sadly, what you heard is true, cable sucks. I can tell you for sure Directv is a mixed bag and the signal DOES vary and it doesn't approach what the set can do. Hope I've helped

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

In my experience, the picture quality varies depending on the source. Just for reference, my TV is a 32 inch Sony, and the picture might look different on something else. My Wii (component 480p) and my DVD player (component 480p) look really good upscaled to 1080p. My PS2 (component 480i, 480p, 1080i) strangely looks better upscaled to 1080i and is sometimes a little off balance. My N64 (composite 480i) looks decent upscaled to 1080p. My Gamecube (composite 480i) and PS1 (composite 480i) look kind of noisy and blurry and are not centered on the screen exactly. My NES. (composite 480i) doesn't really change much. I hope this helps!

The 4K content is non existent... but the TV upscales 1080 content to about double (not 4k) and it looks fantastic.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

Hi I havent tried connecting to pc with this tv yet. I use it for my wii u and with hdmi, upon booting up the game system it detects it as 1080p. Hope that helps
