Is This True - Native Formats

[Kris_911]

Ok I am quoting someone from a site and I give the link at the bottom.
I just want to know is this true and can you link me to a site that prove it?

or output, it can differ. For example a common 16:9 LCD format would be 1366x768. So for 720p it will actually output 1366x768x60 = 62,945,280

Your site link won't work due to the "net nanny" on this site regarding other sites.

All HDTVs have ONE native HD display format and ALL incoming HD signals will be converted to that native format.

The Native display format of various TVs is 1080i (for CRT-based HDTVs) and 720P, 768P, 788P, 1024P or 1080P for various fixed pixel displays (only one of these).

For fixed pixel displays (LCD, plasma, DLP, LCoS), any incoming signal will be converted to one of the above native display formats. There is no choice since it can only display this way (think about it - it's FIXED PIXEL). Is that what you wanted to know?

You need to look at the specifications of the HDTV to see the native format. It's usually provided as something like the 1366 x 768 (768P) example that you gave. (which is likely an LCD-based or Plasma HDTV. DLPs are 720P or 1080P. Etc.

No... I was only asking is 720p wide xga (or that same meaning as wxga) 1366 x 768 at 60 fps = 62945280 pixels per sec?

[57U]

720P is 1280 x 720.

[Kris_911]

720P is 1280 x 720.

Well... 1366 x 768 is too. It said's it's 768p but then again go look at tvs at www.sharpusa.com and it said's it displays all hdtv in 720p after saying... 1366 x 768.

I was asking if I was corret on how many pixels 1366 x 768 gots.

The link you provided doesn't take me to a particular HDTV. Please provide a useful link or a make/model number.

Many websites are very confusing, but if a display is native 1366 x 768, then it is NOT 720P, although it may accept 720P, and convert it to 768P.

There is often a lot of confusion regarding what signals a TV will ACCEPT and what the final display format is. Many websites are downright wrong in what they state.

BTW, this is not a huge issue since conversion takes place "all the time". Be aware that most broadcasters use 1080i and the only displays that natively do 1080i are CRTs. See the HdTV FAQ on "HDTV Formats".

It be "Fixed pixel"...
1366 horizontal by 768 vertical (1,366 x 768 = 1,049,088)

Prolly not be gettin no mo pixels den dat. :)

Yeah well for more pixels then 720p I be happly with the baby convert to 768 from a 720p singal.

I mean come on... it not like a big deal like 720p convert into crap like 1080i or 1080p. It a little convert and picture sould stll be PERFECT and 100% solid.

What ratman said below your psot is not true. The pixel count I said is right.
One thing that mess me up on this is Sharp on there site saying 1366 x 768 and then it said's below it all hdtv is displayed in 720p. So that not 768p... and the thing is 1366 x 768.

1366 x 768 ppl need to understand it same meaning as 768 x 1366 jsut some ppl say it the other way around but it the SAMETHING and same meaning.

I could be wrong... if so, can you explain where I was in error?

Fixed pixel is just that... no more, no less.

[57U]

You have still not provided us with a link to the TV in question or a model number. Once you do so, we'll let you know.

Err... I cant find the site right now but 720p WXGA 768 x 1366 at 60 fps = 62945280 pixels per sec. Same as 1366 x 768.

720p, like 1080i is a television based format. Many plasma and LCD TVs have slightly different resolutions that are derived from computer display resolutions. Common ones are 1024x768 (most 42" HD plasmas), 1024x1024 (Hitachi/Fujutsu ALiS Panels), and 1366x768 (most 50" or larger plasmas and most HD LCDs). Very seldom are flat panel sets 1280x720 exactly like most of the 720p microdisplays are.

What all this means is whatever signal is being recieved by the tv...1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i is processed through a scaler/deinterlacer and converted to whatever the native resolution of the display is. Fixed Pixel displays like flat panel and microdisplay TVs are unable to change their resolution the way "multisync" CRT's can so they must match the source material to the display's resolution.

Hope this helps.
