  • Yeah I had one such 47" “HD Ready” plasma that did 848x480p. The pixels were so large you could see them but 720p content still looked good on it, and DVDs looked even better than they did on an HDTV due to the similar resolution of 720x480 that they output at. They were so much sharper on a display close to their native resolution.


  • Remember when 1080i was a thing? Now it’s all but dead beyond broadcast and cable TV (which is pretty much dead).

    People used to say that 720p was better because it had a higher vertical resolution at any given moment due to being progressive scan, but IMO 1080i looked sharper for the most part unless there was a lot of motion in the scene. The resolution was high enough that the flickering from the interlaced images didn’t bother me. So I usually went with 1080i over 720p. Sports titles and games with a lot of action were the only time when I would go with 720p.
