While DVD is 480P, which is the resolution for Enhanced Definition Televisions (EDTV), I have seen much better apparent resolution on the HDTV sets that upconvert the DVD signal to 720p. Depending on the logic that is used in the upconversion there are no jagged edges on the diagonal on the better sets.
Hey everyone.
Forgive this question, as I'm sure it's been asked 1000 times in the past, but what TV resolution is optimal for DVD viewing: 480p, 540p, 720p, 720i, or 1080i ?
I have no interest in ever getting an HDTV TV signal, as my TV is used only for movie watching, and the TV's I'm eyeballing all have different resolutions. This will help me decide which one to buy.
Thanks
