We recently bought a 73 inch DLP HDTV for our house and I started to research the specifics on the difference between interlaced and progressive signals. I came across this article: http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/24...080i-and-1080/ that says:

Quote:

LCDs, DLPs, SXRD/DILA/LCoS, and plasmas are always a progressive type TV. Only CRTs can properly display an interlaced signal. The other type of displays will take that incoming interlaced signal and display it in a progressive type resolution like 720p or 1080p.

My question is, since our set is DLP and the article says DLP sets always are progressive TVs, why does our DLP set list 1080i as one of the options for signals? Does that mean it receives 1080i signals and upconverts to 1080p? If so, what's the use of listing 1080i as a capability of the TV when all non-CRT HDTVs display in progressive?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah okay, so the listed resolutions are the signal input capabilities. I always thought they were what resolutions the TV could display. Thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I guess I should've explained it better. When I said "I always thought they were what resolutions the TV could display" I thought a TV listing 1080i meant it displays it in 1080i instead of being able to take 1080i and displaying it in its native resolution. Sorry for the confusion, but thanks for clearing it up, Metal Sphere.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
