The new XBR's say 1920 x 1080 pixels. My question is does the XBR do
1080p or convert a 1080p signal to 1080i?

TIA,
Dan

I am actually asking about the Sony KDL-40XBR2.

I think it converts a 1080i signal to 1080p. I don't think there are any
1080p signals yet. Requires too much bandwidth.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.

AFAIK, all plasma, LCD, DLP are progressive display. The popluar
commercial film scanners (Spirit, C-Reality, Millenium, Nova) are
progressive scan and create 'interlace' by sending out the lines out of
order -- the odd-numbered then the evens. The film is scanned 1080p24.
Adding the 3:2 sequencing brings it to 1080i60. If the 3:2 flag is
available, re-creating 1080p24 is easy.

Only CRTs actually 'scan' the image onto the screen.

I believe that a computer can output a 1080P signal such a display...and I
think the XBOX 360 can also take advantage of this resolution.

My Samsung Blu Ray player outputs in 1080p to my Samsung DLP 1080p...

But if the programming came from film, its 24p. Anything more than that
is just repeated frames. Now there _is_ IMAX film that is shot 70mm 60
FPS and THAT would look simply amazing.
