Hi!

Iam about to buy a Hitachi 37 inch Plasma TV, it claimd to have 1024 x 1024 pixels.

Pls can somebody let me know wether it will support HD either 720p 0r 1080i ,though the manufacturer claims it does ,being a newbie,i want to seek an expert opinion on same. I decided on the size because of my room size and selected this model because it suits my pocket.

Thanks and wait some suggestions pls.

I have never seen a 37" plasma from Hitachi and if I remember they did have one a while ago but it was EDTV not HDTV. You really need to give a model number to get the best advice.

Anyway what you wrote sounds correct. The FPs native resolution does not imply what your set can process as an incoming signal. The set will de-interlace and scale from what it receives to it's native res.

I'm not sure that I've ever heard of a 1080 x1080 plasma in 37" by Hitachi either. You want to check on the "supported resolutions" in the specs. This will be different than the screen resolution. LCDs and plasmas are fixed pixel screens. That means that they must convert the incoming signal into whatever number of pixels they have.

My brother bought a 37" Panasonic HD plasma a few months back for his bedroom and it is an outstanding display. Prices have actually fallen since he bought that one on clearance. IMO Panasonic is the best overall value in plasma displays at this time.
