 1080p is the shorthand name for a category of display resolutions. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). The resolution of 1080p televisions have the sharpest and smoothest images possible. If you thought HDTV looked good before... You will be blown away with a 1080p television. 1080p (or True HD) is the next step up on the scale of resolutions and it’s certainly the best resolution you can get (at this moment in time). 1080p also provides a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, but that’s where the similarities with 1080i stop. The letter “p” at the end of 1080p stands for “progressive”. This means that the picture is scanned in a single pass (rather than in two passes with interlaced formats), which makes for a smoother, cleaner image, especially with sports and other motion-intensive content. Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 support 1080p allowing you to play games with stunning realism. Combined with surround sound this gives you the most immersive gaming experience available. |
