1080p PS3 question

in General Discussion edited January 2014
I've read that the PS3 will have 1080p output. I was checking online for some

tv's that actually take advantage of that. I found a couple of Samsung DLP &

Toshiba TV's that are not out yet. The only problem is that I heard that the

highest video source they can handle is 1080i which would then be converted

up to 1080p.



Does anyone know of any tv's that can accept a 1080p source? It would be

nice if Sony released a 50" 1080p DLP television that also has a cell chip when

the PS3 is launched.



Can't the PS3 take advantage of that extra cell chip as well?

    What would the "cell chip" do inside a television?

    I read that Sony & IBM planned on using it for other products besides the PS3.

    And I remember a story about how the the PS3 could access cell chips in other

    devices (tv's, dvr's, etc.) in a distributed setting to get even more detailed

    rendering. It could have been a rumor story though. It was a long time ago

    that I read that.

    Lots of people were perplexed by Sony's 1080p claim. There are no TVs yet with 1080p.

    Bzzt - try again!



    I own one - it is a used Electrohome projector I bought on Ebay for $1400.



    Scan rate for my projector (Marquee 8500) maxes out at 152KHz - which is good enough for 1080p. Refresh rate and maximum ANSI vs maximum NTSC pixel counts I am not so sure about.



    I know that the projector up from mine (the Marquee 9500LC) will display 1080p for sure - my projector I will see about when I get the PS3.

    Sure there is.



    LT-P468W







    Sony Qualia 006 playsback 1080p but doesn't accept it yet(firmware update coming) go figure.



    Luckily you will start seeing a huge rush of 1080p screens in the market for the all important Xmas buying frenzy.



    I heard reports that 1080p looks great as it should

    There are 1080p televisions, but they're still fairly expensive. Personally, I think I'm going to get a 1080i CRT television, since there are decent ones for $999 now.



    I just need $999...

    Most major manufacturers run the image through an image processor to enhance the image. Cell would actually be very good for that sort of task and Toshiba is already planning a tv with Cell for just that.

    Keep in mind folks there is no true 1:1 DLP 1080P chips coming. These new XHD4 chips use what is affectionately known as "Wobulation" (HP invented I believe) this means they ocillate the mirrors at 1/120th so that one mirror can correspond to 2 pixels on screen.



    True 1080P will come from LCD with no Wobulation. I've heard the Wobulation looks pretty good but the picture is softened just a bit with this process.
