Is 1080p necessary

hi

I was reading today about hd ready and true hd. as im planning on buying a new 32" sony bravia in the next few weeks i no its not 1080p compatiable but in the magazine it said that 32" tvs wont really notice too much of a jump from 1080i to 1080p. is this true or should i wait until the prices come down on 1080p.

Ill be using it for xbox 360 and thats probaly the only hd input that will be going into it for a few years, normal sky.

thanks

Yes your right , 1080P will largely go unnoticed on a 32 inch , although you will notice the difference between HD and normal SD TV and in the xbox 360 , the resolution that most 32 inchs display is much closer to 720p .

1080p is for huge displays or wall projectors , very impressive they are too when fed with the right content by the way.

can i ask another question and this may sound stupid but it says:

Video Signal
576i YES
480p YES
576p YES
1080i YES
720p YES

but on another site it says Disply Format 720p.
What exactly does this mean, is 1080i better than 720p and by these figures what does the tv actuly display at.

Thanks for your reply aswel

it natively displays 720p. it also upscales576i etc.. up to 720p.

1080i means interlaced and 1080p means progressive.

progressive is smoother moving images so thats why 720p is best for fast moving images.
