| jrv Senior Member 1266 Posts 2/03 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 3:45PM It guess they claim this can actually resolve 1920 x 1080 on the display? That's a mighty tall order. 1080p is only 30 fps. There is no 60 fps 1080p, unlike 720p which does have a 60 fps mode. 1080i goes to 60 fps, so it's not clear that 1080i@60fps is in fact worse than 1080p@30fps. I have a Sony 34" tube HDTV which can decode 1080i though the display can't actually resolve that of course. I still prefer the tube to any other current HDTV I've seen: it's brighter, and huge screens suck by comparison when you don't have 1080i/p source material. [Link] |
| oatmeal Meat Popsicle Seeking Beauty 1738 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 4:15PM I'd get a set but I haven't found one that has more than one DVI connection. although I'm a little confused on how much resolution can be delivered by component cables. [Link] |
Bill  All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 8:17PM Right now, I'm using the DVI input for my upconverting DVD player (it doesn't up convert through component) and I'm using the component connections for my HD Tivo. For the most part HDMI connections have replaced DVI as the connection of choice for most manufacturers. The connector is smaller and allows for both audio & video to be carried on a single cable. The video portion of HDMI is the same as DVI, so HDMI to DVI is possible with either an adaptor or a cable with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. There are some DVI selector boxes available now and many new audio receivers have multiple HDMI inputs. [Link] |
| oatmeal Meat Popsicle Seeking Beauty 1738 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 10:07PM My Dell 9300 laptop has a DVI connector and I'm heading to see a friend's 720p sony lcd projection widescreen tomorrow. I'm tempted to take it with me and download some of the HD files from the media player link above. [Link] |
| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 10:17PM Also, like DVI, HDMI also "talks" both ways. So my TV can tell my satellite box that it can accept 1080i, but not 720p. Then the Sat receiver knows to convert to 1080i without someone having to program the receiver. [Link] |
| oatmeal Meat Popsicle Seeking Beauty 1738 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 10:55PM Hopefully HDMI fullfills the promise. The one bad thing I've heard about it is it will (or help) prevent you from being able to record digital content. Apparently that's the primary reason to get rid of DVI. [Link] |

| oatmeal Meat Popsicle Seeking Beauty 1738 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Jul 1 2005 : 12:24AM There's a 23" Samsung LCD on sale that I may pick up for my bedroom after our discussion. It comes with a free year of digital PVR rental and HD service. Any suggested DVD players to go with it or wait until BlueRay/HD-DVD? [Link] |
