The Highly-Detailed Lowdown On HDTVs
April 24th, 2006
On the heels of this post, the linked article has a detailed explanation of the various HDTV formats geared for the tech-savvy-but-HDTV-ignorant audience. After reading it, you should be able to easily explain statements such as this one:
“Although 1080i has 1080 lines of vertical resolution (against 720 lines of 720p) and 1920 pixels (against the 1280 pixels of 720p) per line, the fact that 1080i is interlaced, causes an overall lower resolution (in practice) than 720p.”
The article is not light reading.
