Is this title correct? Full HD 1080i?? I saw in another review: "Movie resolution: 640x480 VGA"...???
6606
the resolution is a vga but when you connect it to the hdtv it will upscale the video to 1080i, I don't think it will do it in computer. I will tell you more when I get it.

I am not even sure why they have Full HD 1080i, you can't stretch 640x480 into HD and not loose quality. Videos look great on my computer though.
6608
I think they were trying to say that you can view the photos in full HD, which is misleading, since you only think of videos in HD>

Finally Amazon removed the "Full HD 1080i" from this product title. Now it does make sense...

This one does come with Full HD 1080p unless the seller is wrong. Just be sure to check the description since the same Y580 models have different resolutions.

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

Thank you David Simon for your in depth analysis. It sucks that the Zi8 doesn't have it's standard definition also set at 60 fps for my liking since I will not be burning any footage to Blu Ray anytime soon and will be burning to DVD. Sure it's great watching 720p on a High Def TV by connecting to HDMI, but eventually the data will be sent to my hardrive for safe keeping and burning a DVD copy to play on a stand alone player is key for me. For sure though, I'll be using the 720p @ 60fps mode in the near future, ( when I get a Blu-Ray writer, or when I get a high end comp that can handle Hi Def video editing) until then SD quality for me lol.

It is a 1080. It is a camera that takes videos. So not near as good as a video camera if you are looking to make a movie. But for general videos, like for posting on-line it is great.

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

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

That its not true . The pentile pixelation does make a true full 1080p HD TV .

================== &gt;&gt;BRiT says: The HD-A30 does 1080p output. The HD-A3 is the one that only does 1080i. &lt;&lt; ================== Thanks BRiT, ... Your Correct, ... I corrected my post above!!!

Does just fine at that, color and interface are good, I believe it is full 1080p.

It's MPEG2 encoded, up to 5 gb (yes, you read right) an hour for 1080i content. Obviously, lower res (720p, 480p/i will require less).

Yes, it appears to be an articaft of the cable network's use of 1080i instead of 1080p. The artifact does not show up under BluRay which is 1080p. (Just in case you didn't know, the "i" is an interlaced picture scan - only every other line is sent for one picture frame. Rapid transitions force the unsent lines to be seen as blank lines. (Very simple explanation, but it'll suffice for now.)

I am thinking about buying this for my mom. It would be connected to a 40" RCA HDTV via HDMI. As far as settings, just make sure it's scaling to 1080p and not 1080i. You might also want to try 720p just to see if it's actually changing. Keep your TV set to "Full" or "No Overscan" to make sure it's not zooming in at all which makes even Blu-Ray look bad! As far as the DVD-Video quality, keep in mind it's still going to be 480p (480x720 for NTSC standard) and your display is 1920x1080 which means there is quite a bit of stretching to get it to fill the screen. Also, it really depends on the source DVD you are displaying. Try something that has true 16:9 anamorphic output, and is one of the better transfers available. I suggest trying a Pixar movie (Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, are both excellent) Corpse Bride, and Star Wars I-VI. If you are playing a DVD Video upscaled that isn't in 16:9 format (usually called FULL SCREEN or FULL FRAME) then keep your RCA TV set to No Overscan. Good luck!

good question, i was wondering too...thx for answers that indicate full HDMI size...

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

its 720p....its all you need on a 32 inch tv.....1080p is a waste of money on a 32 inch set

Yeah it's under the Technical Specifications; Computer Support: 1920x1080, 1360x768, 800x600, 640x480 via VGA/HDMI.
