Progressive is currently the leading high definition technology sold. If buyers invest now, they won’t regret it a few years down the road. A 1080p television bought now should not need to be replaced for years, especially as life spans have continued to improve. However, as we all know new technology is a way of life and as things change it adds to our quality of life.
The main benefit is of course the picture quality. There really is a difference - although very few high definition broadcasts are currently done in 1080p, DVDs and some Internet content are available with 1080p. For most consumers, seeing is believing, and there is definitely difference in the picture quality.
Plainly stated, at this time it is not going to get better than a high quality television with 1080p, if you buy a trusted and tested brand name. Consumers who buy now can start enjoying the technology and won’t have to replace it for years down the road.
While it is true that very few high definition broadcasts are currently done in 1080p, this will not be the case forever. Eventually, the availability of broadcasts in 1080p will increase. Furthermore, high definition DVD players will be taking a dominate role in the distribution of HDTV content and many – both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray - are starting to output 1080p resolution. Some Internet content is also available in 1080p as well as select video and computer games. As more and more consumers are investing in the technology, more content will almost certainly follow.
1080p represents 1,080 lines of resolution scanned sequentially. In other words, all lines are scanned in progressively, providing the most detailed high definition video image that is currently available to consumers.
