trying to give the new 1080p set a whirl eh?


There is defintiely 1080p material available

<--has quite a bit😀
 
Only PCs can play 1080p until Blu-ray / HD-DVD are released. They will probably be 1080i for TV (60 fields/sec) and 1080p for films (24 frames/sec).

Last I checked, cable/sat boxes only supplied 720p and 1080i output.

1080P DVD players do exist, and so do 1080P TV's. I suppose the 1080P TV's just upconvert 1080I then?

Thts correct.

With the DVD player it is upconverting in digital. So you can't really add resolution, but good scaling done all digitally is pretty good.

It's got a 720p version.

1080p *isn't* officially part of the HDTV specification, at least not yet. Even if it were, most movies would probably ship in 720p on BluRay or HD-DVD media, probably encoded h.264.

While all true HDTV's support 720p and 1080i, NONE supports a 1080p input (which is fine, since there aren't any). Some of the newer HDTV's claim to *upsample* to 1080p, but personally, I'm skeptical.
