1080i is 540 lines interlaced, and LCD TV type stuff does not display interlaced... meaning that an LCD 1080 TV will have to assemble the image from 540 lines even, then odd, 30 times a second, delivering 1080x1920 each time. So the processing has to be nice. When it is DCDi by Faroudja doing that job, you will love it, especially if it is tuned to the latency and refresh of the specific display/montior because it is built in.
Personally i like the new LCD stuff, looks great to me.
for some reason the plasmas just arent as nice in the edges of things to my eye anyhow.
1080p arriving to my screen will be nice also, but i expect that to be from whatever new HD-BD hwatever disc finally comes my way, i do not expect much 1080p from broadcast sources.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
