Its a Mitsubishi model WD52627. ITs states in the manual it will accept 1080P,
but I just purchased both a BR and HD DVD player that is 1080p and I only get 1080i:(

Even if I switch the video selections on the players to 1080p the screen goes blank then I have to resort back to 1080i:(


Any Ideas

Says 1080p on the website. I'd contact Mitsubishi if I were you.

I'm guessing it doesn't accept a native 1080p signal, so set your BR and HD players to 1080i and your tv will upconvert those signals to 1080p. Also, how are you connected? HDMI? Component?

So is it worth getting rid of this TV and moving up to a TRUE 1080P DLP?

I have my sights on the LED ones:)

Probably not, I have one of the new Sony A3000s and I still can't tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p.

Also, how are you connected? HDMI? Component?

That's the same question I would ask. Perhaps this TV only accepts 1080p via HDMI, and only 1080i via Component?

Problem is, there are no TRUE 1080p DLPs unless you get some high end projectors. Rear projection 1080p sets use 960 x 1080 array and wobulates it to 1920.

Ahh, that could very well explain the issue.

Both are hooked up by HDMI:)

Just got off the phone w/ CS at Mit. They said when the TV was made(late05), the only HDMI was 1.1v. So they have the TV take in the 1080i signal and upconvert to 1080p.

It cant take the 1080p of a next-gen DVD player cause the HDMI is 1.3v, so it does'nt decode it.

Make sense.

If the guy at my work buy this TV, I'll be upgrade for the heck of it:D

Strange, my Sony (HDMI 1.1) takes 1080p over the HDMI. Not over component but....no matter to me. Sounds like someone spun you a bit of a tale about why though.

Stranger still, the manual for your set claims it will accept 1080p from the antenna / cable inputs (but does point out, if you look at the picture of the back panel, that 1080i is tops for the HDMI input) yet.... no one broadcasts in 1080p so a totally useless feature for the time being.

As pointed out above though, 1080i looks damn near as good as 1080p....you are getting just as many pixels but only half of them at a time. Only really going to notice on fast moving material.

Ehh, my $0.02 :)

HDMI version has nothing to do with it.
Simply that TV cannot accept 1080p. Your TV was 1 year too early for that implementation.

I don't think that is accurate. The first generation 1080p DLPs from Mits, Samsung, and Tosh, as well as the first generation Sony 1080p SXRD, were all unable to accept a 1080p input (whereas the 1080p HP DLP could do so), and I don't believe it had anything to do with HDMI 1.3.
