All HD's are required to support 720p and 1080i.
You can get a DVD player that upconverts to 720p/1080i. The quality won't be as good as a high-def DVD (1080p), but will be better.
It is not true that TV shows are only broadcast in 720p, some stations choose to broadcast in 1080i instead.
1080i isn't necessarily better than 720p. It's kind of an endless debate, but a lot of people assume that since the number 1080 is higher than 720, it is better. Not exactly so.

What everyone constantly glosses over in those solutions is that in case you purchase a clean flat panel or DLP television, you will in no way see 1080i so this question, interior the present extremely does not count. All new HDTVs are exceedingly lots 720p or 1080p. meaning they take all sources and convert them to their interior sight determination and test fee. So, in case you have HD cable and the channels are in 1080i, you will in no way truthfully see that. in case you have a 1080p panel, it is going to de-interlace to 1080p. it extremely is exceedingly much impossible to locate something that's 1080i. do no longer confuse while a HDTV says that 1080i is a format it may look after. base line, do no longer subject approximately 1080i. it extremely is all 720p and 1080p TVs interior the present.

You will only achieve 1080i if your source signal is 1080i. However, you also need to know what the native resolution of your television is. If the native resolution is 720 then the 1080i signal will be downconverted to 720.

The biggest misconception about HD is that ANY source can be made to look better. There's an expression in the industry- 'You can't polish a turd'- meaning that if you're source is a 480p DVD player, all your television is doing is essentially showing each line twice. Your resolution hasn't truly changed.
If you want to acheive HD picture quality, you need to feed it an HD signal- Blu-Ray, HD DVD, or something like that.

HD tv shows are only showed up to 720p so unless you upconvert to 1080i, they won't be at that resolution.

Strange is correct.
The bigger the screen, the more resolution you need so it wont look distorted.
Get the HD package from your provider.
