What exactly is a 1080i display and how does it differ to a 1080p display?<br>Surely they are the same thing, with 1080i content being deinterlaced to provide 1080 lines?<br><br>Ash.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/10/06,

Maybe I don't have a good eye, but still think upscaling is the way to
go. I would love to have a 2160p display so I could "double"
1080p and "triple" 720p, with proper interpolation as needed.
Plus I would have something like 4300x2160 as my desktop for not video
stuff.<br>
<br>
And it should run at 120 Hz so "pulldown" can be fluid for whatever you want (for 24, 30, 60 fps sources)<br>
<br>
Again, I plan to try myth on my 30 inch Dell at 2650x1600. Anyone
try this yet? Maybe I will just run transcoder on a 1080p
broadcast to make some 1600p video... HA.<br>
