mine maxes out at 1080i but I would like to upgrade to 1080p after this whole dvd format thing gets figured out.
Yeah, I'm definately going to get a 1080P but I'll wait another year or so when the actual usage of 1080P will be worth it.
I jumped the gun back in 2000 and bought a 1080i TV (being that old it wouldn't/doesn't even up-convert 720P signals to 1080i) then didn't use it for anything that used the 1080i except the few Xbox1 games that used it over the years and small things like that. So I made a stupid move.
In very late (October) 2004 I got a sweet deal on a DLP Samsung 3rd generation (which, if you didn't know, Samsung DLP's are highly reguarded as the best DLP's on the market and DLP's in general are the best bang for your buck; if you ask 100 audio/videophiles like me more will agree than disagree on that).
It's native mode is 720P but it down-converts 1080i to 720P and all. And, of course, I've gotten great usage out of it and it's PC, HDMI, DVI, Component input ports.
By the way, someone mentioned in this thread that all 360 games are put out at 720P. That's not true. All Xbox 360 games, no matter what they say on the back, whether it says (1080i) --or-- (720P) --or-- (720P/1080i) on the back, your Xbox 360 and your TV will work it out to play on your set whether your 720 and/or 1080i native TV up-converts or downconverts or not. Plus, as you can see from above, some games were made for 1080i and not 720P. I just wanted to make that correction.
So to sum up that last paragraph, no matter what the back of your Xbox 360 game case says - 720P & 1080i, 720P only, or 1080i only (and yes, different Xbox 360 games will say one of these threee things), the game WILL DEFINATELY play on your 720P and/or 1080i TV no matter what - whether it's the 360 doing the up/down conversion and/or your TV doing the up/down conversion (if it can and if it needs to).
One thing that boggles my mind is why MS didn't get the DTS logo on the 360 or the package or any paperwork stating it supports DTS (which it clearly does because I've tested it with DVD's I have with DTS). Xbox1 had the logo. Maybe it would have cost them more money? I seriously, seriously doubt that but hey - it's possible I suppose.
