Most FP CRT's that are claiming 1080p will only get it with a 9 inch projector - and then there are some setup needs. If all you care about is accepting a 1080p signal and displaying something on the screen you are correct - and I can go there with my 8 inch Marquee as well. But taking a signal and resolving it on screen are two separate things. - Look at all the people on this forum that gape about getting 1080i on direct views that only resolve 850 vertical lines horizontally. Sure there's a picture on their screen - but there's no way they are getting 1920 horizontal resolution when their set can only do 800/900. At least my Sony SFP comes close around 1400 or so. And of course its interlaced and going to stay that way. |

I think what we want is native 1080p scanning rather than 1080i. This isn't a lot to ask. Would be nice to have with the SPF grille, but any HD CRT would benefit from 1080p scanning.
Had HD CRT R&D continued for another year, we probably would have gotten it in consumer models. From what I understand it isn't hard to implement. |

I got a Mitsubishi RDF223H 22" monitor. Decided not to go with a widescreen Sony for now since I watch a lot of 4:3 stuff like anime and I'll actually be using this for computer work as well. The dot pitch is slightly better than the Sony GDM-FW900 (0.24mm vs 0.27mm), too.
Once I get a BD player, I'll be using Crescendo System's RTC2200 reverse transcoder to convert the 1080p component video to RGB, and adjusting the display height of the monitor to make the picture 16:9. Luckily, I live in Japan and don't have to worry about movie studios reducing the output resolution on the analog output with the Image Constraint Token since doing so is illegal here (AFAIK). I won't be able to use HDMI for the time being, but I can wait another year or two until consumer SEDs come out. I'd rather use component on CRT than HDMI on LCD, and I like having a smaller screen for my personal setup anyways, since I switch between media viewing and computer work so often (and I don't like laptops). |
