Hi,
Looking at the requirements for HDTV, I found this info on AVF...
HD capable inputs accept the following HD video formats:
o 1280x720 @ 50 and 60Hz progressive (720p), and
o 1920x1080 @ 50 and 60Hz interlaced (1080i)
Ok, so if I go for the new Pioneer PDP-436RXE which has a resolution of 1024x768 am I wasting money that would be better invested in a set capable of a higher resolution? Surely a set with only 1024x768 is just going to downscale everything, not that I really understand downscaling either.
What is the benefit, or indeed point, of a panel that has a higher resolution? There are sets with 1366x768 and 1920x1080... how much difference is that going to make? I don't really understand the difference in vertical resolution at all, since the 720/1080 stuff is horizontal isn't it?
How will 1080p be affected on a set of 1024x768? To say I am confused is an understatement, so answers in idiot-speak would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Ollie
