You are probably right, but all 720p and 1080i source material needs to go away as well.

You are probably right, but all 720p and 1080i source material needs to go away as well.

You mean besides games, right!?

Only the DOA girls breasts should be REQUIRED to be 1080p!

(or some odd-fuck resolution like 1330x768 which doesn' t have the right to exist).

The one they insist on slapping on every HD-CRT?[:' (] I' ve been hunting around & half the clerks at these stores are barely aware that they' re not 720 native. I' d invest in another good monitor, but I want something widescreen, & with HDMI.

No HD CRT has a resolution of 1330x768. Most HD-CRTs are 1920x1080 interlaced (which is a real HDTV resolution), and many can also run in 480p. LCDs and Plasmas seem to love the 1330x768 res because manufacturers are dumb.

You mean besides games, right!?

Games would be much better off in 1080p. When you think about it, 720p isn' t leaps and bounds above 480p. It' s definitely better, but it won' t " rock your world" so to speak, comparatively. We' re talking the difference of 240 lines... the resolution of a Super Nintendo. Woooowwwww!!! But 1080p compared to 720p is 360 more lines than that, and 600 more lines than 480p and that' s quite a bit more noticeable. I understand that systems like Xbox360 and PS3 have to run most games in 720p since they aren' t very powerful. Really, neither system is. We' ll have to wait for the Xbox1080 McTwist and the PS4 to finally get all 1080p + good visuals + smooth framerates.
