Uhm...
You are kidding right? The HDMI spec has bandwidth to burn. 5gbps to be exact. A full 1080p video signal and 7.1 channel sound don't use nearly that much (roughly 4gbps).
It's got room to grow.

Room to grow, yes....but its not grown up yet:)Quote:

Looks pretty. But, I can't have one :(
Interesting. It's sad to think such a great technology is being hamstrung by crap quality tranceivers. :(Quote:

There's a ton of info on the subject of 1080p over on AVS Forum. Do a few searches and you'll find lots of threads discussing the current limitations of HDMI inputs...Here's an example Note how the Qualia lacks 1080p inputs, but may be upgradeable...for several thousand dollars more...
Here's a bunch of great info on new Sammy DLP's. Note the following:So, these Samsung sets will accept 1920x1080p@60Hz over VGA at least...that's better than most...Quote:
Inputs: VGA/PC (1920x1080@60Hz)
Inputs: 2 IEEE 1394 DTV Link (SOURCE)
HDMI Supported Inputs: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i (1080p will NOT be offered)
My mom has something similar to that. She got it for Christmas...
Le sigh
I don't think Fat Elvis is correct where he stated " It uses a 960x1080 mirrored grid display." 960*1080=1036800.
In the following link:
http://www.dlp.com/about_dlp/about_d...se.asp?id=1259
It clearly states: "At the heart of every DLP chip is an array of up to 2 million microscopic mirrors which switch incredibly fast to create a high resolution, highly reliable, full color image." 1920*1080=2073600. Therefore the native resolution is 1920x1080 and not "Wobblefied." The Farouja image processor then converts the image to progressive from interlaced.
Great discussion gentlemen/ladies ;)
thanks for the input from all the various contributors
These kind of threads help clear up/expose the mish-mosh of cranberries somebody somewhere calls a "standard" - and the flatulance of less than honest marketing schemes.
Interesting reads all around
Surely help me out :D
that is not the ultimate display.....
here in portugal there was a large open-air cinema display with 20mx10m i believe 200m2 of area xD
beat that :p
When do you think we'll see the first OLED HDTV's? The technology around OLED sounds promissing, you think these will own all other TV's?
Or broke people that are in debt ;)Quote:
