ANY EDTV? I just want to clarify your " any" before I respond.

It is not really native, it' s native the same way a 480 TV displays " 240p" natively, and it doesn' t compare to an actual 480p TV, any EDTV blows the shit out of the 480p a 1080i TV produces.

90% of old 480i TV' s display 240p natively just like a tru 240p arcade monitor. Same goes for most 1080i TV' s doing 480p. The reason is that the sync rates for 240p and 480i, likewise for 480p and 1080i are very close, so it' s easy to produce a tube with limited scan frequency to handle both perfectly at a cheaper cost.

You could produce a 240p to 1080i native set very easily and without a huge increase in cost. 720p on the other hand is a very different beast, as the sync rates are not close to that of 480p or 1080i requiring a full multi-sync scanning tube to produce each resolution natively without any quality loss at each one. And the larger the size with more resolutions the harder it is to maintain brightness and image fidelity with regards to geometry.

Did you know that a Toshiba 32ZP a 480i/480p set is actually multi-sync to a certain degree in the fact that it can handle a 768p signal natively along with 480i/p although 768p is not officially supported. Meaning that many CRT' s that are ED can have the capacity to scan at higher frequencies but have been modified internally as not to do so.

480p and 1080i is as easy to achieve on a set as 240p and 480i are on an SDTV.

Any EDTV I' ve ever used.

They show the best 480p I' ve seen in TVs. If I were to rate it,

1080p LCD @ 480p = 1/10
720p @ 480p = 3/10
1080i CRT @ 480p = 6/10
EDTV @ 480p = 10/10

Evil man you are the biggest nub known to mankind.

" Hur hur you' re teh nub"

Loco, stfu, seriously. You' re retarded.

Anyway.

Hey everybody, I know, let' s get into a resolution fight!
