I've been looking at buying a new HD TV, but the one I've been looking at says it doesn't support 1080HD. So does that mean that it will only support 720p, and not do 1080i or 1080p?

Or does it mean that it will support 1080i, and just not support 1080p?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

what brand/model/size is the TV? If it dosnt support 1080, then I think that means it will only display a picture at 720i/p.

It's this TV.

And It's confusing me.

Pixel resolution: 1366x768. That means it will only display in 720i/p. I'm not sure why it has an X next to 1080HD, I think that just means it wont display at 1080. Most TV's that I've seen that are 720i/p will accept a 1080 signal, then downgrade it to 720 though. Most 32" TV's are 720.

Thanks very much for clearing that up for me.

Slightly gutted it's only 720 though.

Don't buy it from Comet, its a rip off, they charge way more than online retailers. Get this instead, its cheaper and supports up to 1080i (I know as this is the same TV I have). I got it for £480 and now its even cheaper, trust me, its a great buy, I use it for PS3 and it looks fantastic.

Very few 32 inch LCD televisions are 1080p, and you'd do well to notice the difference between 720p and 1080p on such a small screen - if you were getting a 50 inch or bigger TV then it would be beneficial for it to be able to display 1080p and the difference between 720p and 1080p would be noticeable. But at the size you are buying 720p is more than good enough, although I agree with Sphinx that you should avoid Comet, there are plenty other retailers both online and in the high street that have better prices and warranty deals.

That means it only displays at 720. It may support a 1080i input, but it will only display at 720.
