the bongo said:give it 12 - 18 months and the new fancy flat crts will be out, and i ain't making this up. wait 5 - 10 years, and we'll have the even fancier 3d holo-tellies.
read that board, they're all waiting for 1080p, but even when they get it they won't get it. no broadcaster will support it, and no hd-dvd players will output it.
Sony’s PlayStation 3 provides numerous A/V output hookups. The upcoming console comes with not one but two HDMI outputs, and PlayStation 3 will be able to utilize both at the same time to output two 1080p video streams at the same time allowing for dual-screen HDTV gaming.
well it's a start i supposethe bongo said:will this do for now?
But 480p is HD!the bongo said:oh, yeah, i just glanced over the harvey norman book of lies that came through my letterbox. it seems our esteemed irish telly sellers are tellying us, eh, eh, that their sets are hdtv ready when they're not. when you do buy your telly make sure to look at the actual resolution, not the big yellow star that says "HDTV!".
i hate lies in the media.
nerdthe bongo said:480p is part of the ntsc tv standard, though a progressive variant.
atsc, the hdtv standard is 1080i or 720p. there's no 1080p in hdtv, despite what some sellers may say.
