If somebody thinks differrently .. let me give some 100% proof!!
Prime said:Because of the lack of 60hz, it really isn't suitable for sports or gaming, but admittedly would look great for film.
hornydragon said:Whats wrong with 50Hz? or 75Hz? 1920x1080 @ 60Hz can be output by some high end scalers and similarly hi resolutions are used in specific Computer (note not PC) based apps
Here is a 1920x1080 @ 60Hz capable PC based video source graphics engine http://www.es.com/resources/simfusion6500.pdf

The following have been optional timings for HDMI since atleast HDMI 1.1Prime said:There is no standard set for 1080p playback at 60hz, it does not exist.until it does then gaming would be useless, as would hi def sports formats.
You may get 1080p sets that support the current standards (1080p24, 1080p25 or 1080p30) which would be great for movies though.

720(1440)x240p @ 59.94/60Hz
2880x480i @ 59.94/60Hz
2880x240p @ 59.94/60Hz
1440x480p @ 59.94/60Hz
1920x1080p @ 59.94/60Hz
720(1440)x288p @ 50Hz
2880x576i @ 50Hz
2880x288p @ 50Hz
1440x576p @ 50Hz
1920x1080p @ 50Hz
1920x1080p @ 23.98/24Hz
1920x1080p @ 25Hz
1920x1080p @ 29.97/30Hz
I think that you will see that 1080p at both 50Hz and 60Hz are standards. Being optional, manufacturers are under no obligation to support them.
Cameras are NOT the only source........... i think we have given enough examples of 1920x1080 progressive, it may not be broadcast but it existsPrime said:But 1080p/60 does not exist as a broadcast standard. You cannot go out and buy a highend professional TV camera for example that will record in this format 1080p/30 yes, but not 60.

Ithink its this and above where dua link DVi and optical only kick in
Only a handful can accept it without downscaling, and it will be a long time before it is widespread, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist or isnt possible. I am sure Colour TV was a distant pipe dream not to long ago.Prime said:I understand that, but a lot of people will be buying an HDTV primarily to watch TV, then it will be ages til this becomes possible.
Also while it obviously is possible to output it, is there any sets available that can actually take a 1080p(60) signal, or do they simply still take 1080i and deinterlace it? i'm sure that is the cas from what research i have done.

I think you are the only person i know who has thought that, the £12k 65" Sharp GD1E is the fist 1080p capable and native res (1920x1080) screen i have seen bt not with a 1080p feed to comapre to a 1080i or 720pPrime said:(and yes when I first started researching, I immediately thought I must have 1080p set, but my thoughts changed for the reasons I have mentioned)
rant over.
