Was wondering, i read in the egm that if you tv does not support 720p as some older hd sets dont it will scale it to 1080i automatically. Does anyone kno how this works? Would u have to set games in the 360 dashboard to 1080i or 720p? Also will it look as good as it would if it was in the original 720p mode capared to the 1080i scaled way, and would it affect the framrate or have bad cropping?

Some TVs automatically convert 720p to 1080i, but some TVs don't have that function. I'm almost positive that I read that you could set your X360 to automatically convert 720p to 1080i if your TV didn't support 720p. As for which is better, it's almost a matter of opinion. Both are very good and you shouldn't have any problems since the X360 has the built-in conversion ability.

It's actually not that rare for TVs to support 1080i and not 720p. A lot of the early HDTVs did not support 720p and most if not all of the CRT HDTVs do not support 720p. From what I've read, the X360 will not support 1080p unless there is a future hardware update. That would mean even more confusion for consumers, so I doubt that will happen. By the time enough people have TVs that support 1080p, Xbox 3 will be out.

Our HDTV has 1080i but not 720p... instead, it has 480p/540p which is weird since I've never seen it being support by any console.
Most TVs will convert 720p to 1080i if they can't support it, our's does. 1080i and 720p are way too similar- one might look better than the other but as someone already said, it's a matter of opinion. Now, 1080p... that's a different story.

my tv only supports 1080i and does not convert 720p... which i found out when trying to run soul calibur 2 on Xbox in 720p. I was sad...
but this is the first I have heard of the 360 doing that conversion for me! That would be sweet... anyone know if the PS3 will do the same (i'm more of a PS fan that an Xbox fan)?

Yep, I could never play 720p on my TV for XBOX games also...like MVP BAseball. So, no auto conversion. However, I think some NFL Football games come in at 720p on my HDTV, but they get converted to 1080i. So, not sure how things work.

Well, I've searched a lot of other threads here at CAG about this, but I figured since there is already a discussion on it here, I might as well ask. I'm looking into buying an HDTV...but at the price range I can afford, it seems like I'll be stuck with 420p/1080i. (Not to mention I'm definately getting a CRT model...so I guess I'd be stuck with em regardless of cash) So since the Xbox 360 can upscale it, do you think I might as well get a TV that can't support 720p? I thought I had read a lot of people commenting on that when something gets upscaled, it isn't anywhere near as good as it would be if it was natively in that setting...I guess in this case 1080i.
well I was mostly refering to recent flat panel tvs, but yeah I can see how that works for CRT. as for 540p that's because it's just 1080i transferred over to progressive scan.
I was pretty sure the 360 would support 1080i. after all the regular Xbox already does 1080i (from hdtv arcade).

On another note the HDTV standard is almost enough to make me get a 360. lower resolutions just don't cut it on the higher resolution flat panels. Grainyness is more apparent and 480i makes me want to cry (Genji) =(.

the 360 itself will convert the signal from 720p to 1080i.
and soul calibur 2 is 720p but not widescreen. so everybody has black bars, not just you.

To the people without 720p:
I wouldn't worry about buying a new TV just because your set doesn't do 720p. Have the 360 upscale it to 1080i (rather than having the TV do it, which may cause a bit of lag). Honestly, the difference is negligible unless you're someone who posts at avsforum. With the prices of TVs dropping as fast as they are, and the quality improving as quickly as it is, I think it's a waste of money to buy a new set just for that, unless you're incredibly wealthy and have money to burn. But then if that's the case, why would you be here at CAG? Save your money and buy a new set in a few more years when they're REALLY improved.

[quote name='shipwreck']What will be interesting is how this will handle original Xbox games. Will it upconvert those 720p games to 1080i? I can only hope, because I was never able to play Xbox games in 720p. I'm guessing the answer to this is "no", though.[/QUOTE]
To add some more fuel to the fire, I've heard rumors about the 360 upconverting some games from 480p to 720p, such as Halo 2. I think that was an EGM rumor, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone can back me up on that. I guess we'll see whether or not this will be true soon enough. But I would think that if the 360 upconverted an original Xbox game to 720p, that it could kick it up to 1080i. I hope.

Don't worry about it. The reason it doesn't support 1080p is because so few people actually have TVs that can output 1080p. Microsoft decided to cut costs on some features that not many people would take advantage of this time around.

if youre going strictly for 360 gaming i dont think a 1080p set is needed. i think at 42" youre on the fence for being able to notice any difference with that resolution period.
a lot of people on the internet are going to say everything but the supposed best tech (for this topic its 1080p) is garbage, even though id bet half of these people dont have a hdtv of any res.
depending on the policy of whichever retailer, you can exchange a tv after viewing it in yoru home. i went into the store with a specific, well-reviewed tv i wanted and after seeing the picture in person i was doubtful, if not for the ability to return the tv after having it in my home i wouldnt have bought it with the way it was setup. after seeing the picture in home im very happy withg it.
anyway, hope that helps a little, dont get caught up in internet folk trying to live vicariously through your purchase.

I agree. I have found out that many people who don't own a specific gaming console talk bad about it simply because they can not afford to have the experience. Anyways I did find your write up very helpful, thank you. What kind of tv do you use to run the 360 on? I played a PS3 on a set before I bought my PS3, and the person told me it was doing 720p, but my PS3 can only output either 480p or 1080p. I noticed that the LCD they had the PS3 running on looks great. I have never been very much into tv's, but I figured it was time to jump into a better resolution for my games.
I mainly want the HDTV for my Xbox 360, because I have my PS3 in another room, and my 360 is my main gaming hub. So I don't really plan on using my PS3 on the HDTV. I also don't plan on investing in Blu-Ray movies because I will stick to regular DVD until the Digital Distribution takes off everywhere. So this set will be strictly used for the 360.
a lot of people on the internet are going to say everything but the supposed best tech (for this topic its 1080p) is garbage, even though id bet half of these people dont have a hdtv of any res.
depending on the policy of whichever retailer, you can exchange a tv after viewing it in yoru home. i went into the store with a specific, well-reviewed tv i wanted and after seeing the picture in person i was doubtful, if not for the ability to return the tv after having it in my home i wouldnt have bought it with the way it was setup. after seeing the picture in home im very happy withg it.
anyway, hope that helps a little, dont get caught up in internet folk trying to live vicariously through your purchase.[/quote]
I agree. I have found out that many people who don't own a specific gaming console talk bad about it simply because they can not afford to have the experience. Anyways I did find your write up very helpful, thank you. What kind of tv do you use to run the 360 on? I played a PS3 on a set before I bought my PS3, and the person told me it was doing 720p, but my PS3 can only output either 480p or 1080p. I noticed that the LCD they had the PS3 running on looks great. I have never been very much into tv's, but I figured it was time to jump into a better resolution for my games.

the output of the ps3 doesnt sound right, i dont have one and havent paid too much attention but im pretty sure it outputs at other resolutions.
anyway, i use a westinghouse 32w6 for my 360 and ive had tons of compliments, ive also had it on a 57" dlp sony and it looked great on that as well, it looked a little more vibrant than the westinghouse but not as sharp (both tvs were at 720p). i currently have it set at 1080i but i looks about the same to me.
personally, if i had a ps3 (and i will when i an walk into a store and buy one) id have it hooked up to an hdtv.
good luck.
