QUOTE

What resolutions will game developers be required to support?
Game developers are only required to support 720p.

Does this mean I need an HDTV that supports 720p to play all of the Xbox360 games?
No. Despite the fact that developers are only required to support 720p the video encoder chip built into the Xbox360 has the ability to up-scale and down-scale games to any of the resolutions supported by the Xbox360. This means that even if a game was only developed in 720p you will have the ability to play it in 480i, 480p, or 1080i as well as 720p.

Whats the difference between 1080p and 1080i

Im looking to buy a tv and i decided to go with the DLP and all i come up with is 1080p..

For the last time, don't bother with 1080p. Virtually othing supports it for the price you pay for it.

Get a nice 720p or 1080i set and you'll be fine.

Can it be that im in the market for a DLP ive looked and i thought it had to be the same...

Carlo210 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 30, 2005, 02:47:00 PM »

I like 720p better because of the lack of scanlines, but if you are running on a larger screen, 1080i might look better (assuming it is native) because you will get much more detail.
I don't have alot of experience, but I am more than fine with 720p.

Put your monitor into 1280x1024 and view 1280x720 pictures in full screen.

Yeah i want a 50inc at least..im blind so i guess the 1080i because of the size.

Carlo210 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 30, 2005, 02:52:00 PM »

I would reccomend a 720p dlp set since that is Xbox360's native res.

To be honest when shopping for a DLP set or really any other HD sets, visit the avsforum.com.

The reason you are not finding 1080i DLP sets is because there are none. All DLPs are progrssive scan (720p or 1080p). CRT sets are 1080i usually.
