	1080i vs. 1080p HDTV: should you care? - Fully Equipped - CNET reviews
		In this case, the subject is HDTV resolution, and 1080p resolution in particular.
		Progressive-scan formats such as 480p, 720p, and 1080p convey all of the lines of resolution sequentially in a single pass, which makes for a smoother, cleaner image, especially with sports and other motion-intensive content.
		For example, the Sharp LC-45GX6U, a 1080p 45-inch flat-panel LCD, actually wasn't as sharp as it claimed to be; it couldn't resolve every line of a 1080i-resolution test pattern.

	1080p Demystified (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Actually when talking about 1080p we should require a "frames per second" figure, for example 1080p@60 for what is displayed on the LCD display element or 1080p@24 for what might be broadcast.
		A distinction needs to be made among 1080p as displayed on your TV set versus 1080p as broadcast, transmitted, or stored, and 1080p as televised or captured at the source.
		Converting 1080i to 720p or to 1080p is difficult, requires de-interlacing, the quality varies widely, and it is hard to guess which TV sets do it poorly without test patterns or magazine reviews that specifically address this issue.

	The case against 1080p - Fully Equipped - CNET reviews
		In case you haven't heard, 1080p displays, with their 1,920x1,080-pixel native resolutions, are theoretically capable of delivering the smoothest, sharpest picture.
		Also, although a direct comparison was difficult because we had to switch back and forth between 1080p and 1080i output on the Samsung player, we couldn't discern any difference between those two resolutions on the Westinghouse.
		How 1080i vs. 1080p plays out with video games--three PS3 launch titles offer native 1080p support--is less clear, but in the little time I've spent with the PS3, the differences seem very subtle and are ultimately tied into how good graphically the game looks to begin with.

	1080p - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The importance of this is that, where film-based content is concerned, all 1080-interlaced signals are potentially 1080p signals given the proper deinterlacing.
		Another example of 1080p content is the MacBreak 1080p podcast created by Leo Laporte and Alex Lindsay.
		There is a growing selection of consumer televisions with native 1080p at this time.

	Highest HD spec--1080p--highlights complexity of display choice
		Increasingly, 1080p video resolution (a progressive-scanned image of 1080 vertical lines) is seen as the final destination in the years-long evolution of digital video and television.
		1080p may be a logical pausing place for HD technology because it was the highest-quality spec adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in the mid-1990s.
		Thus, any broad movement to embrace 1080p resolution will also be shaped by considerations of content, end use, compatibility with existing systems, and the capabilities of display devices.

	Xbox 360: Shane Kim Talks 360 1080p Game Output - Kotaku
		I don't know how much overhead there is on the 360's GPU based on current usage, but 720p to 1080p is a big jump in the number of pixels to push, and I can't imagine it being used for anything where maintaining framerate is important.
		Some of the JRPGs might use 1080p resolution, but native 1080p games are probably going to be few and far between, at least on this generation of hardware.
		The weird problem with that (and with this 360 set up) is that someone could start to build their next gen DVD collection, enjoy watching the format for a year or two...then if/when the movie industry does kick in with their copy protection, suddenly all new movie releases are playing back in only 560p.

	The (in)famous 1080p truth - Engadget HD
		A 1080p television or projector might be right for you, but check to see what's really in it first and what it is doing to your signal.
		As far as getting the full benefit of 1080p goes there are many things to take into account, such as seating distance and the quality of the scaling/de-interlacing to the native 1080p resolution of the screen (if using anything less than 1080p input which people obviously will be).
		1080p is great at the endpoint of the screen and quite honestly there is really no serious issue with 1080i content, people who piss and moan about it i suspect are specs geeks that do not actually own or work much with it.

	1080p: Take It or Leave It? - Gizmodo
		The good news is that amongst the 1080p sets they used (the 47-inch Westinghouse and the 50-inch Pioneer) the level of detail was "virtually identical." However, when they compared the image to sets with lower resolutions, they noticed it was harder to pick up on the differences in detail.
		Comparing 1080p against 720p from a source that is not really capable of high quality output simply isn't a good test.
		The problem I have with going 1080p (along earthling's reasoning) is the fact that not only is no one currently broadcasting in 1080p...no one has any PLANS to broadcast in 1080p.

	IGN: Xbox 360's New 1080p Support: Crippled? *UPDATED*
		The best signal that many of these 1080p displays are able to accept via analog connections is 1080i, which is de-interlaced by the HDTV's internal circuitry to convert it back to 1080p.
		Regardless, for those early adopters who have displays and projectors that support 1080p over VGA and component we have a solution and it is a free upgrade for them.
		While the VGA solution may work for a minority of 1080p HDTV owners, we're left wondering if Microsoft is promoting this new 1080p capability primarily to blunt the onslaught of the PlayStation 3, which supports HDMI and 1080p.

	Magnolia Knowledge Center 1080p
		First and foremost, 1080p is the very best way to present High Definition video on your television screen-no other specification puts as many lines of resolution on your screen at once.
		First of all, keep in mind that the image you see on a TV screen is made up of hundreds (sometimes thousands) of tiny horizontal rows of individual pixels.
		If you compare an older 1080i TV to a new 1080p TV, you'll find that the 1080p set has twice as many lines of resolution on the screen at any given time.

	Fully Equipped: Should you hold out for an ultra-HD HDTV? - ZDNet: Reviews
		Progressive-scan formats such as 480p, 720p, and 1080p display all of the lines of resolution sequentially in a single pass.
		A handful of 1080p sets are already on the market, including Sony's Qualia 006, a 70-inch rear-projection set powered by LCoS technology, and Sharp's LC-45GX6U, a 45-inch Aquos LCD flat panel that's currently sitting in our lab undergoing testing.
		LG has models due out soon, and Samsung's much-anticipated, next-generation 1080p DLP sets are supposed to arrive in May. Among them is a 67-inch model, the HLR6768W, our Next Big Thing winner at this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

	1080p and the Acuity of Human Vision — Audioholics Home Theater Reviews and News
		You are here: Home → AV University → Display Formats and Technology → 1080p and the Acuity of Human Vision
		In the consumer electronics world we have to ask a similar question. I can buy 1080p gear, but will I see the difference? The answer to this question is a bit more ambiguous.
		The next part of the puzzle is applying this understanding to a video display or other image composed of heterogeneous elements. The human eye’s resolution (acuity) is directly proportional to the size of the elements of the image and inversely proportional to distance from the elements. This relationship is best expressed in degrees.

	TGS: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support, PS3 to lose bullet point - Joystiq
		Microsoft's announcement -- which effectively parries Sony's bold claims regarding the merits of 1080p high definition content or, as Sony calls it, True HD -- is their latest move seeking to blunt the impact of the oncoming Sony PS3 hype-train.
		He was similarly convinced that very few other developers would see the value in producing 1080p games, with the singular exception of Sony's first-party studios, eager to validate the value of the capability.
		OK so 1080p output from the console is only useful if you have a 1920*1080 screen anyway.

	No 1080p PS3 Games Yet, Says Sony

		As it stands now, the only game that is running in 1080p, said Fargher, is Gran Turismo HD - a tech demo crafted by Polyphony to showcase what the system is capable of.

	CE Pro § Group Quashes Notion that HDMI 'Can't Do' 1080p
		In the history of marketing-speak, few terms have been as abused as "1080p." To compound the confusion, some manufacturers have adopted catchphrases like "True HD" and "Full HD" to describe their 1080p machines, implying that other HDTV sets are not "real" high-definition.
		So when people start arguing about the theoretical advantages of 1080p over 1080i, or the smoother transitions you get at 60 frames per second, remember that films are shot at 24 frames per second, and all the variations of HD signal are just different schemes for repeating certain frames.
		Since 1080p signals are just starting to come into play, most manufacturers have never had to accommodate them before, and there have been a few "growing pains." For instance, the HDMI format allows for transmitting and receiving a 1080p signal, but only if the manufacturer takes advantage of this capability with the right electronics.

	Home Theater: 1080i v. 1080p
		In this case, the only difference between 1080i and 1080p is where the de-interlacing is done.
		It is incredibly unlikely that they will ever broadcast 1080p (too much bandwidth) or that 1080p/60 content will show up on discs (too much storage space and no one is using it to record/film).
		Your stance of "You don't need 1080p" has made me flip back to serioulsly considering buying it (not to mention you have it as a favorably reviewed unit) on the website; however it is not listed as a PASS or FAIL on your list of tested 1080i deinterlacing tests.
