Do modern 720p/1080i LCD displays really have 1920*1080 pixels?This would be very surprising. I am pretty sure that my 32"LCD has 1376*768 physical pixels. I don't know what he displays when he says 1080i, but I am pretty sure that 1080p would have more details. Interlacing here, interlacing there. Its just a difference between LCDs with 768 lines and LCDs with more physical lines. |
If you don't believe me, Google it. There are at least 50 articles that explain how 1080p and 1080i are visually the same if the TV handles 1080i deinterlacing properly. It's a commonly known fact that is often swept under the rug by rabid 1080p promoters.
Here are a few of the most-quoted ones:
