TV Resolution: Does anyone know why 32' TV's dont have 1080P.

i dunno why...there is a sharp that has it tho...my friend who seems pretty knowledgable with this stuff claims that 1080p is not worth it in a tv below 40 inches because you cannot really see the effect...

I am having the same problem. I purchased a 40" LCD LED HD Samsung 120Hz 1080p and when I turn my TV on it shows 60Hz 1080i. And I still don't understand what is wrong. How can I fix it.

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

Pretty much my only reason for purchasing a tv like this or equivalent is for pc and and in display properties only show whatever monitor is hooked up and only shows what resolutions is capable of, example: if I have a 22" hooked up it shows its resolutions and if I change it to lets say 19" it will only show its resolutions. I did email samsung and see what they say but have a feeling it will be weeks before a response.

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

I think that's the one biggest flaw with this Sony model. If it senses a 720 or 1080 signal, it won't allow you to select Normal setting. A 4:3 image gets blown up and distorted by either "full" or "zoom" settings. I solved it with DVDs by changing the setting at the level of the Sony player. But I haven't hooked up to a hdtv digital box yet, so I'm not sure how I'll deal with it then. You could use your DVD player as a tuner, possibly, but I hope there's a better solution than that or the TV gets sent back.

It probably has more to do with your cable box and the resolution being transmitted by that channel. Tri changing the cable box display settings. Hard set it to 720p or ensure all formats are on. Either way I suspect it's your box not the tv.

its bull. thats what it is. they do that sometimes with tv's that are compatible with 1080p. basically downscales 1080p back to the max resolution. its not 1920x1080p. its practically scam

you can get 1080p only through HDMI. So you might want to try that and double check your settings. make sure the tv is set to 1080p also.

The problem might be in your display setting. Right click on your desktop and find display setting. Most TVs need some adjustment to simulate as a big size monitor.

It's an HD TV, but not the best resolution. My guess is the the salesperson was probably refering to the display resolution of this model - 1024 x 768. They are probably trying to sell you a more expensive set with better specs.

I believe that the tv is always set to 1080p, although the media that you are watching may be at a lower resolution.

Yes at 12 feet you probably can't tell the difference between 720 from 1080 on a 32". Same could be said for a 50" at 16 feet. Details has to do with distance from the screen (all other things being equal). You will see more detail in 1080 on a 32" at 6 feet than you can a 1080 on a 50" at 12'. At 6' a 50" will also look pixalated and appear to be lower quality. Pick your size/resolution based on what your viewing distance will be.

My understanding is it is 720p. When looking at TV this size, 720p was still the most popular in my search. It will take 1080p in, but then down-scale it to 720.

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

Only compatible with TVs that have an HDMI port so no. It might be time to upgrade. Good 32" TV sell for $250

I couldn't tell, my monitor doesn't support 1080p! In the end I sent it back and bought a 75ft VGA cable and a new 1080p monitor for the same price.
