Pretty soon, I am planning to start doing some looking around for my first HDTV set. I had a few questions, though.
I realize there are basically 2 HDTV formats being broadcast right now: 1080i and 720p. I was wanting to know if most HDTVs on the market just display 1080i? If I happened to buy a 1080i set, and was watching ABC (720p), what exactly would happen?
Basically, what I want to know is, does a 1080i HDTV always upconvert 720p to 1080i? Is this image ever the true progressive on 1080i sets? When watching 480i (standard) on 1080i HDTV, what happens?
...really confused...
