I got my HDTV and my 360 back in January. I set it for 1080i (what I assume to be it's "best" setting) and never looked back. Here's the question : Being a self proclaimed idiot, 1080i IS better than 720p....right? Anybody? How 'bout you in the back with the funny glasses?

Generally speaking, no. To understand why, you need to know how interlaced and progressive resolutions work. With an interlaced picture, half of the scanlines are rendered each cycle, with the other half rendered the next cycle, and so on. With a progressive picture, all of the scanlines are rendered at once. So, do the math:
1080i: 540 scanlines/cycle
720p: 720 scanlines/cycle
So, as you can see, a 720p display will have more scanlines rendered at any given moment than a 1080i display. The 1080i display will technically be higher-resolution, but you'll see all of the problems associated with an interlaced display as well.
So, try your TV on 720p. I guarantee you'll see a positive difference where HD content is concerned.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

CK,
when you get your 360 back, look in the bottom (opposite of hard drive) of it up very close through the mesh in a well lit room. You will be able to see a second heat sink on the left if you unit has it.
I apparently got a brand new unit back with the new mods and such and given yours was after mine, I'd expect the same.
PM me if you are having trouble locating the second heat sink.
I hate trolls.
Systems I currently own: 360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong. Yes, Pong.
Awesome man. I just got my my HDTV and it's a Vizio, too. A 32' one. It looked like a really good deal from what I read. However, I still need to pick up a PS3 =(. I am trying to see if my mom would like to make it my early Xmas/Bday present. Hopefully, I can get her to go half way at least.
Nice TV ck enjoy the HD gaming and watching.

Thank you Garcian Smith. I'll try the 720p setting tonight!
Congrats on the new TV. I have a 32" Vizio in my bedroom. I've had it for about 6 months and it has been wonderful. Picture quality is way above average, and for the price, I think it was a great deal.

I've registred my PS3 on 07.11.2007 and CR arrived on 08.08.2007 (IIRC) - it takes around a month.

Looks sweet, verg good price too, since my PC monitor is only a little smaller and I sit right infront of it I´ll be waiting with a HDTV for a while, but if I´d be getting one now it would be one like this. Good luck with this, (at least more than with your other one) :) |
It is that exact TV and thanks for the good wishes :)
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

From what I heard 1080i is better for movies and 720p is better for games, any truth to this?
Off topic: Are you THE Garcian Smith? If so, you were great in that game ;)
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
