Ewen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think the Sharp Aquos 26" is full HD, and I think Samsung do one. Have you done the old Google yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 yeah all i found was info on the sharp one from a forum posted last year. looked at a few sites but cant find much. lost touch with technology lately and im getting baffled. lol. couldnt find anything on a samsung 1080p. but i did find a post in an av forum that said its not worth having 1080p on an 26". whats 1080i then?

Ewen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Samsung LE26S86BD 26" LCD HD TV is the Samsung I remember seeing, but I think its been discontinued ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 whats 1080i then? Edited as it was basically cock:d Perhaps people say 26" is too small for 1080i / 1080p because even HD ready resolutions on that size screen look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=132247 will that not do for you;) yeah i saw that, but im looking to get in mid to late decmber, no doubt it be gone by then Samsung LE26S86BD 26" LCD HD TV is the Samsung I remember seeing, but I think its been discontinued ? did a quick search on google and looks like its been replaced but isnt 1080p Basically more vertical lines, more resolution although thats simplifying it a bit. Perhaps people say 26" is too small for 1080i because even HD ready resolutions on that size screen look pretty good. so is 1080p better than 1080i or vice versa? sorry, all this i's, p's, hdtv's, lcd's and stuff is doing my h.e.a.d in! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 so is 1080p better than 1080i or vice versa? sorry, all this i's, p's, hdtv's, lcd's and stuff is doing my h.e.a.d in! lol 1080p is better. I dont think they make a 26" 1080p TV as there isn't much point what with it being relatively small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 1080p is better. I dont think they make a 26" 1080p TV as there isn't much point what with it being relatively small. so if i find a 26" 1080i is it worth getting or should i just go for the 1080p 32"?

Ewen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i = interlaced p = progressive 1080i is 50 half-frames per second, the equivalent of 25 full frames, where a full frame is 1920x1080 pixels. 1080p is 50 full frames per second, where each frame is 1920x108. From what I've read, 1080p is more future proof. I've had both demo'ed, FWIW I found it really hard to spot the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I really dont see the point in owning a 1080p TV so small, you really arnt going to see the difference over a lower res at a distance imho. I think 1080p is only worth investing in for bigger screens (40" +) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Dunno really, I'm not really up to speed on all the sets, but my mate picked up a 40" Sony for £750 which is 1300 odd res, which is kinda a halfway house, and his looks really sharp. If you're buying for a TV get a 32" minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah the Pioneers have that great contrast ratio which gives you deep blacks.. Panasonic also have some nice ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I have a Dell 24" monitor at home and the screen is great. I dont have any experience with LG or actual Samsung tvs myself, although I do like the look of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 you would be better of buying a 24" computer monitor which will do miles better than 1080p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Mine only does 1900 x 1200 or something like that, and 1080p is 1900 x 1080 (?).. so not a great deal of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
