| What Happened to 1080P ?
I see that alomost all the hdtv televisions are presented in 1080i format but what about 1080p format?Why are there aren't any of these available?Surely this is at least for me the ultimate presenentation for this format and the FCC should also recognize this option in their web site but it does not. Computer monitors are in this format and it something that I think not out of the scope of the manufactures for all current formats.Eg:tubes,lcd,plasma,or any future display tech.Any one out there agree or disagree? |

1 edit | I belief that the answer is - the added quality is not worth the added bandwidth and cost that it would take.
There are very few Plasma screens that even do 1080i. Most (especially the ones in a reasonable price range) only support 720p. I actually can't think of one right now that does anything higher then 720p. It is more common for LCD's to do 1080i (another reason they are superior to plasma) and I know there is a 46" Samsung model that is like 8k that does 1080p natively. Now that is SWEET! |
