Sony KDL-32XBR4 - 1080p?? Is it true?
1336632
Per the Sony marketing brochure, the 2007 model is definitely a 768 line 720p display (although you'll see people mistakenly posting that "the S3000 is 720 but the XBR4 is 1080"). So regardless of what resolution of source signal it is fed, it will display via upconverting or downconverting that source signal to 720p resolution. I.e., it cannot display more lines (finer resolution) than it physically has. I believe the XBR4 will accept a 1080p source and automatically downconvert it to the XBR4's native 720p resolution, but if so, I'd think you might get a better picture by setting the output of your game box to 720p to begin with to avoid the extra conversion. The Spring/Summer 2008 32" KDL-32XBR6 will be 1080p per Sony press release. Hope this helps.

Nope bs 1600x900 res. I told them about it I bought two of these and both were not 1080p

To the best of my knowledge the highest resolution is 1440x1080p which when played back is reported as 1920x1080p. It's not true 1080p but it's better than 720p and honestly it looks pretty damn good, with decent lighting of course.

The HD720 is supports 1080P. There is no current UHD support at this time. You may inquire about this future at the KDLinks website via email.

Laurence,I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting.jm

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

It has 720p native resolution but does show in 1080 as well and has a wonderful picture. However, it is not a true 1080p which is why it only says 720p in the model description. Hope this helps.

No, quality still comes through as 1080p. I use it for my Xbox and PS3 and it works great.

120 basically doubles the refresh rate of the images. That is very good especially if you like sports. .. I had a Sony that I returned because it said it was 1080 pixels but it was really only 720... don't you hate being lied to? I do...

Did the research. It's only 1080p. The 4k OLED TVs come out in the next couple of years, but they'll be prohibitively expensive.

My understanding is it is 720p. When looking at TV this size, 720p was still the most popular in my search. It will take 1080p in, but then down-scale it to 720.

Sorry, I can't help. I only used the Sony for playing movies in mp4 format on my HD TV. The sound was very good though.

With my Panasonic plasmas (42" and 50"), which are 2006 and 2007 models, I have found the upscaling very good. In fact, it's hard to get around them, since these plasmas have native resolutions that no DVD player can match (expect for 1080p models). 720p on both 42" and 50" models is not quite true 720p (it's acutally 768p), so no matter what, the Panasonic will be doing some upscaling. As far as medium DVD players and DVD upscalers for around $100 and below, I have seen very little difference. Even compared to my 4 year old Sony 480p player. I would say HDMI provides a smidge better detail, but it's not dramatic by any means. I haven't tried the up-market upscalers (Oppo, Reon chip), so I can't comment on them, but I doubt the difference would be dramatic--the Panasonic just has to do too much upscaling on it's own, regardless of what signal you send to it... My brother says his 700U 1080p also has very little difference with new upscaling DVD players as opposed to his older 480p player, so it looks like Panasonic's upscaling chips on these TV's are indeed rather good...

Dear Lance, The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution. Eric C

Hello, Yes 1080P 30FPS is the native resolution. It does continuous loop recording.

Technically, the only thing that can be considered "real 4K" is of course, real 4K. However, the Seiki SU4KC1 interpolates and fills in (i.e. adds relevant) detail by comparing data between two frames thereby "enhancing" 1080p to a simulated higher resolution (more than 1080p, and less than true 4K) - all of which can only be displayed/seen on a 4K or UHDTV. The shorter answer to you your question therefore is "yes" - with the above disclaimers/qualifications.
