Think of lines going across your screen to form a picture. In interlace mode, e.g. 1080i, there would be 540 lines going across one way then 540 lines going across the other way...the lines do this 60 times a second, so your brain is fooled into seeing a solid picture of 1080 lines (interlaced from two sides), but these are made up of 540 lines of resolution. With a progressive picture, there are 1080 lines going one way and 1080 lines going the other way, which means you get twice the information on your picture screen and the picture is rock steady. While this is all good and well in theory, understand that DVDs have a max output of 480i and even though some DVD players, and/or HDTV sets will upconvert, a good 1080i picture is questionable. Right now, the XBox, Blu-ray DVD's, High def-DVD and some on air transmissions are your only sources of 1080p, however...that should be the standard in a few years, so....be happy you bought the 4095 and wait for the world to catch up.

Hi to all of you , I dont mean to but in,but 1080i is superior,the only one higer is 1080p in which cable boxes do not have yet. I have my cable box set to 720p,and when a 1080i program comes on it automatically switches to 1080i on my cable box. there are tons of programs in 1080i , american idol,and most of your prime time shows are in 1080i. 720 p is a step below,but still considered hd quality,true hd is 1080i,and 1080p. If you set your box any lower than 720 ,your picture will not be good,and it will not upconvert on your cable box when a true hd program comes on. set your box to 720p,and above. sorry for the repetition,and good luck to all

I'll make it easy for you. Get the 4695D. You answered your own question, broadcast at 1080i much better on 1080p than down-convert to 720, don't you think?

T3i will not take 1080p video. I think it is only 720p. If just for pictures go with the t3i

If you want to be technical there is really no service provider supplying a true 1080! With that being said you need to be careful with spending more money for no reason on HDMI cables that are equal in performance for more money. Most cables even ones supplied with new televisions are pretty good with accurate speed that you can not see the difference with the naked eye.

Although I don't have a specific answer to this issue, I know that my TV will automatically select 720p over 1080i when I am using a Blu-Ray player or Xbox gaming system. 720p is actually a higher resolution image, because the picture is progressively scanned. Because my TV is only capable of a 1080i (interlaced) image, I cannot enjoy the full benefits of 1080p. The next best choice is then 720p, which is exactly what my system chooses to display by default.

Because Roku only has 2 resolution modes--480p and 720p, NOT 1080i. So what you need instead is a scaler converter adapter that can convert from 720p to 1080i. Both E-More and Portta scaler coverter adapters are available for sale on Amazon

Unfortunately, as of now 3d displays are limited to 1080P only. The technology has yet to transition to even 1440 displays. I had been gaming in 3d for the last year, and I can say without question that 4k surpasses it in terms of immersion. I'm selling my 3d display and keeping this monitor. I can't go back to 1080p, even in 3d. The visuals with this are breathtaking, if you have the graphics card to run 4k.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

Yes. 1080i gets converted to 720p as the TV's native resolution is 720p (it doesn't have enough pixels to display 1080 lines of information). But it shouldn't really matter, as the difference between 720p and true 1080i (or even 1080p) is going to be almost imperceptible on a 26" set.

I'm not sure but I think 705 upconverts sources to 1080P, while 606 only to 1080i... if that's the case I'd go with 705...

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.

This TV can display everything up to 1080i resolution. It is also capable of 1080p but I think only Blue-Ray is using 1080p right now..

It is. You just can't tell because there is only so much that up-conversion can do. It isn't some magic wand that suddenly turns 480p into 1080p. All it does is enhance what is there, if there isn't enough there to be properly enhanced you wont see much difference.

Yes Input Supports highest video resolution 1080p and outputs as an analog video / audio,Input is HDMI......output is RCA audio / video ....also s-video output

HDMI isn't the only type of video signal that can output in 1080p by far. In fact, the only difference between DVI and HDMI is the fact that HDMI carries the audio in the same cable, whereas DVI carries only video, but other than that they're identical.
