i am stuck on getting a 1080p tv, after seeing a demo at bestbuy with a blueray playing on a lcd flat screen i am on a conquest to get the same screen display. It was an experience watching it, wow was the screen so clean. It was ridiculous! Well i heard that the ps3 will only play 1080p with a tv that is 1080p capable only and if not the ps3 will downgrade to 480. Well i am confused a bit about this 180p,1080i etc....
i am looking at the samsung LN-S4051D, on samsungs website it says it is capable of 1080i and 1080p using the hdmi inputs it has. Then i go to best buy to check the price of the tv and also notice that they have the tv spec at 1366 x 768 max. resolution? can someone explain this?

thanks

 

wrong forum

 

That is not a 1080p display.

It may ACCEPT a 1080p (1920x1080) signal but it will downscale it to 720p.

 

so which ones are a true 1080p display?

 

so is this a true 1080p?

Yes, I just got the newer model in the 46" size.

 

how much u get it for?

 

newer model?

 

Big key is to look for the resolution to state 1920 x 1080 if its less than that it will accept but like soopa said it will downscale

 

thanks fsttyms1, all of your comments seem to answer my question directly.

thanks man.

 

are there any 1080p screens in 32"? i cant seem to find any that samsung or sony? the smallest it seems is 40"?

 

the smallest i've ever seen is 37"

 

You would need microscopic vision to notice a difference between 720p and 1080p on a 32".

 

About $2600 shipped.

 

its not about microscopic vision, its just that i heard that the ps3 will downscale to 480 if you dont have a 1080p screen.

 

Not really. Even at 32", smaller pixels = better picture.

Take a computer monitor for instance.

But like he said, the real issue is that PS3/Blu-Ray sucks if your TV isn't 1080p.

 

Im trying to decide on a tv myself. Im looking at the KDL-46XBR2, and trying to decide if the KDL-46XBR3 is worth the extra $$

 

whats the main difference between the two? do they use the same engine? the xbr3 looks real nice with the piano finish, but i dunno if its worth it especially since i dont know the differences

 

isnt the differences just the finish?

 

I just bought the KDL-46XBR3, only because I found it on sale locally at Tweeter cheaper than the lowest price I had seen online. It was in the same price range, and I prefer black over silver, so I figured why not.

Yes, the only differences are the finish. The XBR3 is piano black and the XBR2 has matte finish plastic bezels that are changeable (for $299 a pop).

If you don't mind a silver bezel, go for the XBR2, it's a better deal.

 

damn where did you get that for 2600 shipped in the paino finish? how much was the silver one? where you get it? im interested in the 40 in in silver.

 

Sweet thats the info i was looking for. I didnt think there was any difference other than color. Ill probably go with the xbr2

 

Honestly, I'm not sure I love the XBR3's finish anyway. It shows every fingerprint and reflects every bit of available light...

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get the XBR2 and buy the optional matte black bezel. It'd end up costing more but I'd prefer it over the reflective shit...

 

Where do you find/get the optional bezels?

Side note if i found finger prints on my TV id be chopping fingers off for touching it

 

if i weren't saving up for my first house, I'd be all over the 46XBR2. My girlfriend's uncle just got the 46XBR3 and I would say the piano finish is too reflective.
