1080p And The 360
« on: December 05, 2005, 01:34:00 PM »
I have a Mitsubishi 55inch widescreen that will display 480i, 480p, and 1080i. I want to upgrade to a 1080p television.

I understand that an interlaced image can only go up to 30 frames per second and a progressive one can do 60 frames per second.

I was looking at 1080p televisions and it seems all of them convert the 1080i signal to 1080p.

Does this mean 360 games in 1080i will run at 60 frames per second?

Thanks in advance for any info.

you are right that 480p and 720p run at 60fps but 1080p is only 30fps

If 1080i runs at 30 frames and 1080p runs at 30 frames than what is the difference between the two?

I meant to say in my original post that if a 360 game in 1080i is running on a 1080p television will it run at 60 frames a second.

Also, where did you read that 1080p runs at 30 frames, just curious?

1080P is 60...just like 720p and 480p are. What would make you think otherwise?...It's says P right behind it.

The P denotes "progressive scan" it doesn't have anything to do with the Refresh rate.

1080p has a max of 30FPS...

yes it's true that 720p and 480p have a max of 60FPS but it's more of a coincedence rather than based on the fact that they're both progressive scan.

I was wondering if you could provide some more information as to why 1080p only goes up to 30 frames a second.

I thought when you view 1920 by 1080 on a computer monitor it can go faster than 30 frames so what is the difference between that image and a HDTV image?

I just want to understand how this stuff works, I have an idea but there are a couple things that are confusing me.
