I have a question about over-the-air HD...

does it go all the way up to 1080p? I'm debating about whether or not to buy a large 24" monitor for my computer so I can watch games in HD.

I get my HD with rabbit ears so I need to know if it comes in at 1080p so I know my investment will be worth it. Otherwise I'll just stick to good ol' 720p.

No broadcast stations are in 1080p. At least not yet. All broadcasts are in 1080i or 720p.

Doesn't matter how big your monitor is, if the resolution's too big, your software will downscale it. Even at 24" it's almost impossible to tell between the resolutions.

Unless you have a 50" or bigger, you'll notice very little difference between 720 and 1080. If you run a blu ray on a 720 under 50" and sit it next to a 1080p, there is minimal difference at best.

Right now the only source to get 1080p form is BluRay or the now defunct HDDVD. I prefer 720p to 1080i any day, no chance for artifacts on the screen. There is always the option of running all your sources through an upconverting AVR, like a 4 digit Denon. It will take a 480 input signal and upscale it to 720, or turn SD into HD. It will upscale a 720 signal, i or p, and output 1080p. Now, granted its not "true HD" but short of a trained eye and knowing what to look for, the difference in about impossible to tell. So all your sources can be upscaled, all you will be watching is High Definition, what more do you need?

Hey, maybe you should start your own business in this field or something... :D

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
