Ah, fair play - here goes:

The '1080' bit refers to the picture resolution. Both 1080i and 1080p have the same picture resolution. This means there are 1920 pixels of the image down the screen and 1080 pixels across the screen. This equates to 1920 x 1080 pixels on the screen in total. For some reason the industry only uses the number of pixels across the screen as a indication of the picture resolution. 1080 picture resolution is the best you can get at the moment. Other types of resolution are 720p (1280 x 720), 480p (720 x 480) and 480i (640 x 480).

The 'i' and 'p' bits indicate the way the image is put on the screen or the scan type. The 'i' stands for interlaced. Interlaced scanning is an older method of putting the picture onto the screen. It is more common in older style CRT TVs. The 'p' stands for progressive and is the modern way to put the picture on the screen.


The picture comes on the screen very quickly but the progressive technique is smoother and less flickery than the interlaced method. Thus it is claimed that the picture will be better using the progressive method although it is hardly noticeable to the eye. It may also be better for fast paced action movies or rapid changes to the image but, again, it is debatable whether the eye will pick up on this.

1080p is the best you can get at the moment in terms of latest technology available to us currently.

Hope that helps somewhat

So to use an EX7000HD and the HDMI cable, would you need a "true HD" TV?

Just to clarify. Whilst the official resolution of 1080i is 1920x1080, both BBC HD and ITV HD have been using 1440x1080 on satellite and recently ITV HD tried 920x1080 but were rumbled and blamed "routine maintenance" - That's why BBC HD doesn't look as good as some other HD channels.

Then there's the question of, is what is being broadcasted from an original HD source or is it just being upscaled to then be broadcast in HD..

I cant believe everything thats being broadcasted in supposed HD is all from a HD source.. Or maybe it is, what do I know, lol ..
