I'd also mention this little PDF from HP that shows what some other connectors look like and what the connections on the back of the TV look like (which is great for visually minded people such as myself):

Wiki does a good job for details. The HD 'spec' is a mess.

However with fast motion the number of "picture events" per second is what determines the smoothness of the motion. With the same bandwidth available an interlaced format variation will record twice as many instances than it's progressive counterpart.]]>Oct 23rd 2005 11:12AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2005/10/22/hdtv-defined/http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/10/22/hdtv-defined/
Why don't you give the actual raster of the formats:

720p 1280x720
1080i 1920x1080
1080p " "

Not to mention the differences in frame rate.

Can anyone help? If I am looking at two plasma tv's which one would I choose? 1024x1024 or 1024x768p. I read the above information and called the "technical" support line at LG USA. The tech told me that for it to be considered "HD" the only criteria that had to me meet was the 720p horizontal lines. He further said that the vertical resolution was not as important. Please advise.

Thank you!
