Yes, if you use the proper cables
HDMI cables are manufactured and tested to support all SD and HD formats. There is no cable that is dedicated to a specific format so a cable that handles 1080p will also handle 1080i, 720p and any standard definition format.
There are numerous formats that are in use in television and broadcast. Currently, 1080i 50Hz or 60Hz is the highest standard being broadcast. 720p is the same amount of data, but fewer lines and is also broadcast. 1080p is not broadcast at present and is restricted to local sources. BluRay discs, for example, can use 1080p. Broadcasters have no plans to use 1080p on their outputs at present. We can expect to wait several years before we see them start broadcasting that resolution. In film and some television post production work, 2000 and even 4000 lines are used. Once again, these are not broadcast and are used only for high quality image processing.
Most smaller tv's are 720P and will convert 1080i , 1080P to 720P. Native resolution is the resolution the tv is desinged to work at. The reason for this is , at viewing distance you will not see any difference. The reason is, the resolution of the screen and resolving power of the eye can only do so much. Check the owners manual for the resolution of the TV screen.
no; the unit can only accept up to 1080i/480p/480i resolution. 720p and 1080p will not work with this unit what so ever. Remember component (red/blue/green) are still an analog signal because the frequency is too low to be a,"True High Def" (1080p).
I have a sony bluray player conected to my tv by a hdmi cable only it wont work can anyone help me --------------- Go into the menu and set the output resolution to either 720p or 1080i and it should work on any HDTV that's not 1080p. If it doesnt, don't use an HDMI cable - use Red/Green/Blue (Component Video) cables to hook up to the TV. It will work fine at 720p. You will also need to connect additional red and white cables for sound.
Yes, probably. But the quality difference won't be noticeable... Yes you can have a 1080p source on a 720p panel. You won't be taking full advantage of the Blu-ray/ PS3/ Xbox360 but it will work just fine.
your xbox might be set to display 1080p and that's why it doesn't display on your 720 TVs
Bluray handles all HD formats. As 720p is one of the HD formats, it will play it without a problem. Bluray will also handle 1080i and 1080p formats as well as standard definition. Depending on the set up of the player, the output will be in the format recorded on the disc or it may convert all formats to a single format such as 1080p. As an HD television will also handle any of the formats, it is worth experimenting with the set up to see if 720p discs are displayed better when the player outputs the native format or in a converted format.
I do believe that it will work if your buy a converter. That is if they make a converter from interlaced to progressive scan.
It will work, mine's on a 52 inch 1080P Sony and it's still not the best
1080p signal may not work on a 1080i TV set. You may not get a picture, but just a blank screen. And that blank screen will not let you undo the changes because you cannot see anything on the screen. In this case, you may have to make an analog connection, such as a composite video connection, to your TV set just to undo the changes you have made. Or you have to press a combination of buttons on the 1080p signal source to restore the picture. I suggest you read the documentation that came with your 1080p signal source.
That TV should work just fine for watching sports or fast motion. It has a 6.5 millisecond response time, which is wicked fast, and since the TV uses a 1080p resolution and not 720p or 1080i, the picture should be crystal clear as well.
