Mo- I agree with you- my head started spinning when 720i, 720p, 1020i and 1020p are discussed- never mind when the "upscaling of blah to blah" argument starts...... Between that and the format war between HD-DVD and Bluray- I tend to feel a terminal rage whenever I'm in a store selling this kit........
I think Sony has an underplayed ace in its hand with the built-in Bluray player in the PS3- now that you can pick them up second hand with a couple of games for hundreds less than the retail price- the writing really is on the wall. Will I upgrade my DVD collection to Bluray- like hell..... damned if I can tell the difference between an DVD upscaled to 1020p and a Bluray disk.......
What really confuses me- is does the "HD Ready" sticker on a tv indicate its a HD tv- or is it bull from the marketing department not worth the sticker its written on?
Whatever about the engineers and their confusing formats- I'd really like to get the entire staff of the marketing departments out along a wall and tie them up with the longest HDMI cable I can find before I drop stupidly heavy kit on their heads and then stuff their mouths with styrofoam........
