Ask HDBeat: How can I tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p

Jul 24th 2006 8:23PM on Engadget HD

This conversation kills me. "Kevin" above hit the nail on the head- most HDTVs sold today are natively 720p and will scale a 1080i picture down to 720p. The main reason you want a 1080p set is because the native resolution of that set is 1080p- it will upscale 720p, not downscale 1080i or 1080p.

If you have a 1080p set, not a 720p set the accepts 1080i input, you CAN tell the difference.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
