Comments on: 1080P HDTV – What’s in it for you? http://www.gizmorepublic.com/video/1080p-hdtv-–-whats-in-it-for-you-500 gadgets galore for the gizmo geek Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:01:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Anonymous http://www.gizmorepublic.com/video/1080p-hdtv-–-whats-in-it-for-you-500#comment-6 Anonymous Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-6 Wayde, Thanks for the straight dope on 1080p. We've got an old school Hitachi(2000 model year rear-projection, yes they made HD TVs back then) in the basement that kicks out 1080i as it's maximum resolution. Watching the NFL from a high-def signal on this set will put a lump in your throat on Sunday afternoon because the picture is so beautiful. Several of my friends have recently gone out and grabbed up the new 'thin is in' LCDs and Plasmas and I was starting to think that maybe I was getting left behind. After I read your post, I feel confident that I don't have anything to worry about in terms of missing out on better picture quality from a new television. It's like Christina Aguilera says good things come for boys who'll wait. I don't think she was talking about high-def tvs but I think it still applies. Keep up the good work. CC Wayde,

Horizontal lines comprise vertical resolution. Vertical lines comprise horizontal resolution. It's counter intuitive and can be very confusing. Thanks doctor, good point.
