The 1080p Input Question

Then one might regret very much if they buy a "1080p" television
because they will never be able to truly use it. It has not input for
it.


If a 1080i 60 source displays better on a new 1080p 60 display then what is
the difference?

Well, I am trying not to obsess, but I am looking at 60" sets. I find
the marketing dishonest...sort of.

If you only need to go to 60", get the Hewlett Packard set. It takes an
external 1080p input via HDMI right now.

Well you would think the models which come out next year (or shown in
January at the CES) will show advances in inputs and more refinements to
1080p performance.

That is why it may not yet be time to plunk down $5k on the SXRDs yet.
Good chance next year's model will have 1080p inputs and other
enhancements including better performance.

In 2006, we'll get the first taste of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, or 1080p
content. But it's in 2007 that the content should really flow.

Meanwhile SED sets should be in second generation.
