is this telly capable of displayed 1080p?

Tattooed · 22 Dec 2007 at 16:55

Hi,
Can anyone pls tell me if this telly is cable of displaying 1080p? The tv is an LG 32LC3R . I hae the 360 dispplay set at 1080i

MattandJet · 22 Dec 2007 at 17:09

most 1080p (1920x1080) TVs come in at 37"+ sizes, so i doubt it will have full HD

maybe wrong tho, havent got time to check the exact model

Will_3rd · 22 Dec 2007 at 17:15

a quick google tells me that the resolution of that TV is 1366 x 768

Tattooed · 22 Dec 2007 at 20:54

What does it mean then if the resolution is TV is 1366 x 768?

Ross1234 · 22 Dec 2007 at 21:00

1080p = 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total
1366 x 768=1,049,088 so it is significantly less

is the telly still hi def?

Ross1234 · 22 Dec 2007 at 21:07

1280*720 is 720p high def. You have greater than this so yes.

Don't think it'll display 1080p. Most 32" lcd screens will display 1080i, but not 1080p. The smallest lcd that will that I know of is the 37" panasonic with native res is 1920 x 1080, (please if thats incorrect can someone say so).

Sharp have a 32" at 1080p.

Oh and my flat mate has a 17" laptop that's greater than 1080p

Yes but it will scale things.

I may be wrong here, but doesn't a tv need to have 1920x1080 pixels to display 1080i as well? The 1080 part refers to the vertical number of pixels, and the i and p refer to whether the picture is drawn in one pass or two.

As i say i could be wrong...

I plugged a PS3 into my 23" SAMSUNG - and its telling me its displayed as 1080i
So in reply to your Question... No?
Im not too sure about this myself to be fair...

They just downscale the image.

They won't truly be displaying 1080i any more than they could display 1080p, the only reason they don't is I think a matter of not being able to resize that resolution when it's p and not just i, fast enough to display, due to processing limitations.

Nope 1080i = interlaced

720p = progressive.

How does it being interlaced facilitate displaying 1080 lines of resolution on 768 physical lines of pixels without just downscaling, exactly as you would need to do with 1080p?

That's what i was trying to get at....

1080p:
pass 1 line 1
pass 1 line 2
pass 1 line 3
..
pass 1 line 1079
pass 1 line 1080

1080i:
pass 1 line 1
pass 2 line 1
pass 1 line 2
..
pass 1 line 540
pass 2 line 540

still requires 1080 lines but not as much processing hence the reason for the standard. I think that 720p tvs interpolate a 1080i input and say that's what they're showing, but aren't actually showing 1080i.

If i'm wrong i'm happy to accept that, but if so could someone explain how 1080 interlaced lines get displayed on 768 physical lines please?

divine` · 24 Dec 2007 at 12:10

Oh, I wasn't sure what you were getting at really.

However, on LCD, Interlacing doesn't really happen.

You get one picture of even lines, which gets stored, then one of odd lines, they then get combined and shown as one image.

Tattooed · 27 Dec 2007 at 13:34

I have the 360 displayed as 1080i and it looks stunning.Would the ps3 be able to be displayed as 1080i? Thinking aobut buying a ps3 for blu-ray to make use of this tellys hd.

badbob · 27 Dec 2007 at 13:37

Interlacing doesn't really happen.

Interlacing artefacts ARE visible, I've seen 1080i on a 1080P projector and it's quite horrible. I'll try 1080i on my set

divine` · 27 Dec 2007 at 13:42

Well, it doesn't happen in the traditional sense of interlacing you'd get on a CRT.

On a CRT, it would be updating all the odd lines on one pass, then the even on the next pass.

With an LCD, the image is de-interlaced with processing and a final 'full' image is sent to be displayed. If the processing algorithm used to do this de-interlacing isn't very good, then you will get artefacts etc.

An LCD screen isn't however showing an interlaced image like a CRT would, it de-interlaces first.

"Only CRTs can display interlaced video directly – other display technologies require some form of deinterlacing."
