| WessleWoggle said: We have a 50 inch plasma TV. Until today I thought it was 1080i/720p, but I learned it can do 1080p. I watched Iron man in 1080p. It's so much more smooth, excellent motion. It has such detail, it's so nice. I hadn't seen 1080p on our TV yet, it's much better than seeing it on a smaller TV. Still, since it wasn't bluray, rather OnDemand from my dish network service, I wonder if some quality was lost. When I paused and looked close at the screen some pixels of detail were not there. Not that I could tell from my couch, but still... I wonder if it could look slightly better? Also, now that I know my TV supports 1080p, is it worth it to get a newer xbox with an HDMI port? Will 1080p make it look better for all games, or only a few? |
If you already run your 360 through component at HD resolutions, you won't really see any difference with HDMI.
Also, some TVs will accept a 1080p signal even if they don't display the full resolution.

I saw transformers in 1080i, and it was very good picture. I can only imagine how nice it would be in 1080p, probably very amazing. Iron man was only slightly compressed though, not very compressed. |
If you're watching a Blu-ray movie that was encoded at full HD resolution, you will see no difference between 1080i or 1080p on a flat-panel display.

I don't care if it doesn't support the resolution, there's still a noticeable increase in quality. That's really all I care about. |
Are you referring to component vs. HDMI? If so, what I'm saying is that there is no noticeable increase in quality. It's not worth replacing your console just for that.

I don't know if it's Blu-Ray that does this, but why is Transformers running at 60 fps on a full HDTV (1080p)? I hated that, it didn't look like I was watching a movie, more like I was watching my neighbors or something. The 3D effects looked ''stamped'' on the screen, not fluid at all.
Oh well, I'm still happy for you! I'm stuck with 720p here. :(
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

I hate it when 3D effects look stamped on. I just watched the new incredicle Hulk on DVD and it didn't look very real. It looked utterly fake compared to how good Iron man looked. |
That's the fault of the film, in this case, not of the transfer quality. The Incredible Hulk doesn't look nearly half as good as Iron Man, and in fact looks significantly less good than Hulk (2003).

Depending on your tv provider Blu-ray could look slightly better to noticeably better.

ps the resolution at 1080 i and p is the same its the details and source some 1080p look better then others and hdmi cleans the picture up over component but I wouldnt get another 360 just for hdmi.
