Does the picture come close to an HD picture on a regular HD tv?

Yep! I can't tell the difference (if projected in a dark room on a flat white background) the only downside is it runs at 1250 watts

There are a lot of factors that go into answering this including size of the projected image, ambient light, whether you're doing front projection or rear projection and the surface upon which you are projecting the image. I use mine primarily in front projection mode on a 132 inch diagonal Camp Chef screen outdoors. The image looks every bit as good as my high-definition flatscreen television in the living room.

You probably would not notice pixilation with 720p and definitely wouldn't see it with 1080p. One thing you should consider though, is the definition of the source. I use to have a projector displayed on a wall (150ish inches) and standard def looked fine to me.

The highest shooting setting is full HD at 1920 x 1080p, which translates to about 2.1MP. The picture should be very sharp assuming the display on your TV is also 1080p.

No, the normal human eye cannot tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p, the same for 1080p and 720p HDTV's. One might tell a difference if the face is pressed against the tv screen, a practice I would not recommend.

The quality is pretty good, but you may have to configure it. I was unimpressed with the first pictures until I realized that there are settings for it. Select media, then push the gear at the bottom of the screen. Select "quality" and you can select from normal, fine and HD.

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.

HD is digital. Digital either works or it doesn't. It is not like analog signals where you can have varying levels of performance. If the HD picture is not breaking up then this signal booster should not give you an improved picture.

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.

Yes, for the channels that air HD content you will see it in HD on your TV. Just make sure to connect the box to your TV via an HDMI cable to get the best picture.

No...not at all. I find the picture suburb. Especially when paired with a high end Sony Bluray machine. The television changes settings automatically based on the content you are watching.

Yes, DVDs don't look that great on this television. This television is designed for high definition and DVDs don't have that kind of quality.

All of the specs at the Philips website for this model indicate that it is 1080p. Unfortunately, I bought it for my Mom for her bedroom and she doesn't have a HD cable box to confirm (but Philips is a major brand name so I expect they wouldn't flub that one).

When watching cable television, it really won't appear to look any different than 720p from that distance. If you sit up close, then yes you will notice a difference.

I've noticed it in SD (using Dish Network) but not in HD yet. I'm thinking it's because I'm just using the RCA that came with it, but even without the HDMI cables the picture is fantastic. Can't wait to see the HD and SD channels and Blu-Ray with the HDMIs

Upscaling. It will take a picture that was made for TV in the 480P format ( Scanning a 480 lines per second ) and "Upscale" the picture to the 1080P format ( Scanning at 1080 lines per second ) so the picture looks clean, vibrant, and perfect on your NEW hd TV - Or in the 16:9 ( Wide Screen ) format...

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.

You know TV's are square or rectangle? HD vs standard def? That's the difference. One is widescreen. One is a box.
