you guys don't even realize less than 1% of the country have the bandwidth necessary for decent 1080p. why should Apple, or any company, waste money on a feature hardly anyone could run? if you think there is a huge difference between 720p and totally compressed 1080p over a WAN connection, then you are living in make believe land, which is fine, because someone has got to buy all the Monster Cable.

Sean (re: your 9/2/10 post)....I don't see such an update promised at the (Roku) linked page you provided. The only free update "**coming later this year (in November, 2010)" that it mentions is relating to USB compatibility. AND...they don't mention anything about the older HD-XR, but only about the new "XD" models! I presently own 2 of the (previous generation model) HD-XR units and would be glad to see such a (1080p) update, which would allow me to keep my existing units. But if not, then I'm considering the new model. Please re-check and clarify what you wrote, in case I'm missing something. Thanks!

According to Roku's Web site: Roku HD-XR Capable of Playing 1080P HD Video (via free upgrade later this year)http://www.roku.com/roku-products#2

If you could do an A-B test between 720p and 1080p, I think you would be surprised at how little difference there is. Differences in the specs are 99% marketing-generated.

I bought one, never worked in 1080p, 720p. Also had several dead green pixles so I returned it and the second one was worse. Consider another one.

A lot of content, particularly commercials, are 720p. Push the recall button on the remote when you are watching an HD program. Chances are, it will show 1080p

720p, but since it's only a 32" tv, there's no discernible difference b/w 720 and 1080.

Netflix and Plex are generally okay, but I get stuttering on Amazon probably 50% of the time which is unbearable. I would guess that this unit has a weak CPU that struggles to handle some Amazon encodes @ 1080p. I don't have this issue at all with a Roku 3 and that unit feels much snappier overall.

I don't for a minute believe this TV is 1080, but for composite inputs I get a pretty good picture quality out of mine. Have you checked the source?

Here is a video that I took. It is recorded at 720P. I didn't want to bother with 1080P because I don't think it would have made that much difference and would just chew through hard drive space faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7ZmTy87Vk

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

All of the specs at the Philips website for this model indicate that it is 1080p. Unfortunately, I bought it for my Mom for her bedroom and she doesn't have a HD cable box to confirm (but Philips is a major brand name so I expect they wouldn't flub that one).

They certainly don't seem very serious about it, regardless of the specs when it ships. Why on earth would they bother shipping this 1920x1080 resolution camera with just an RCA video cable? When the only way to play anything recorded on this camera in high-def is to either burn it to Blu-Ray on a $300 burner, buy a computer with an HDMI port (which only just recently became commonplace), or have a TV with VGA/DVI support, I can't even begin to fathom why the designers failed to build this player with a modern HDMI-compatible video out interface.

Hopefully someone from Western Digital sees this question and other comments like it. It they would integrate a browser and additional Apps like Amazon, Vevo, FSTV, etc, (come on WD - this is a great product - take on Roku directly!), this thing will sell like crazy. They have really improved it and it is almost there. Raise the price a few dollars if that's what it takes - and pack this baby with streaming apps! Someone in product development needs to understand how close they are to a serious Roku killer. . .not to say that Roku isn't a good product too.

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.

No, I don't see one, I use mine with a Cisco comcast top box which works great with 720p. 1080 p is Blu Ray. Trust me when I say you will not find a better TV then this I did months of research. Best Black levels by far, no one is even close. and the picture is to die for...

This is a tuner designed to receive over the air or QAM cable broadcast signals. There is no current broadcast signal that goes over 1080i or 720p and no tuner is able to deliver 1080p. Also, the connections on the back are only coax and s-vhs and neither can do 1080p

480p is all you're getting. The product misrepresents its ability to use 720p.

i get great quality from it at 1080p... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZj9nAYVsQM&list;=UUCS4a2nsfJBxUScjqabh49w

I don't use Hulu, but if you lower the resolution it may work. Even though the device claims 1080P I run at 720P. It's faster and most feeds only supply a signal at 720P or lower anyway.
