I was looking to purchase a LCD but was confused a bit by the specs, i figured someone here might be able to explain it to me. here's the specs: 1366 X 768 PVA panel CineSpeed™ <8ms Response 720p Resolution 500 cd/m2 Brightness 2000:1 True Contrast Ratio 178°Viewing Angle Native Mode (HDMI) NTSC tuner TheaterWide™ Modes (7) Screen Freeze Picture Position Control Auto Aspect Ratio Auto Aspect Ratio (HDMI:480i/480p/720p/1080i) 3D Y/C Comb Filter MPEG DNR (480i) CableClear™ DNR Color Temperature Control Black Level Expansion Cinema Mode (480i) (2) Audio/Video Inputs (2) ColorStream™ HD Inputs (1) S Video Input (2) HDMI Inputs (v1.2a) HDMI 1080p Input (60/30/24 Hz) HDMI PC (VGA) PC Input (XGA/SXGA)(1) RF Input(1) DVI/PC Audio Input(1) Audio Output It says the resolution is 720p, how can it have a hdmi 1080p input? I thought the resolution is the highest it can display, perhaps im confused about what these specs all mean. Can some explain?
Your right that the display will scale any source to its native resolution(720p in this case). I think the 1080p input thing is just a sales gimmick by specifically wording the capability of an hdmi cable hoping that people will confuse it with the actual tv specs.
This just means that the tv can accept a 1080p signal. Some tv's can not receive hi-def signals you send them. And as club said, your tv will just scale everything to it's native resolution.
