Okay folks, many people have been asking for TVs that are 1080p.
1080p does NOT, I repeat NOT mean the resolution!!!!!!!!
It DOES mean that the television will process and display a 1080p signal.
Regardless of the resolution (1920x1080 or 1366x768 ) the TV Must process a 1080p signal to be defined as a 1080p set.
Many have argued with me for a couple of years about this and not the crows are coming home to roost.
See details if you have bought one of the sets mentioned below regarding the class action lawsuits starting to be filed.
Beginning in 2005
Display manufacturers such as Hitachi, Panasonic, LG, NEC and RCA began selling -- and touting -- new "1080p" High-Definition TVs. According to their manufacturers, these new LCD, DLP and plasma sets -- with a horizontal resolution of 1920 dots across by 1080 vertical lines (i.e. 1920x1080 pixels) -- produced the smoothest, clearest picture possible.
The HDTV manufacturers never bothered to explain -- is that, if you try to plug a 1080p output to the 1080i input of a 1080p display, you will get no image. These "1080p" HDTVs are unable to accept the 1080p signals from any device, including Sony's PS3, Blu-Ray players and HD-DVDs.

All 1080p displays can only display images progressively (each resolution line has to be displayed at the same time) and because of this they all have to deinterlace interlaced transmissions before displaying. The deinterlacing can be done correctly (by weaving the 1080 lines together) or incorrectly by taking 540 of the lines and just doubling them. The technology for the latter method (called bobing) is cheaper but you are also throwing away half of the resolution. The use of bobing for interlacing on those 1080p displays which only have 1080i inputs may amount to false advertising.
HDTVs Not What They Seem
High Definition Televisions (HDTVs) have become a popular new purchase; however, some people do not realize that some of the 1080p HDTVs have a defect because they are not compatible with all 1080p devices.
If you purchased a "1080p" HDTV in 2005 or 2006, and would like to speak to an attorney about your experience please take a moment ot fill out this form to send your complaint.
