Why Does it come up saying 720p instead of 1080p when we turn the tv on?

A lot of content, particularly commercials, are 720p. Push the recall button on the remote when you are watching an HD program. Chances are, it will show 1080p

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

Hi.. I do not have this issue. My TV powers up to the TV picture. I am guessing it's in the start up settings but have not had to deal with it. I responded so you would know that you can change it. this is an awesome TV. Everyone who comes over comments on how great the picture is, so you made a great choice

you can get 1080p only through HDMI. So you might want to try that and double check your settings. make sure the tv is set to 1080p also.

I'm pretty sure this is 1080p. When I checked Vizio's website it says that its 1080p. Here's the link: http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/vm230xvt.html

it displays at whatever you have your 360 set to display. under the settings menu you can change it to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

No, just depends how you set it up.only thing I don't like it only I can say is the picture not too clear, it is only 720p , not1080p.

Is the convertion from 1080p to 720p the reason I get two grey bars left and right when I tune into a HD channel? If not, why do I get those bars? The picture is quite good but not full left and right.

Because this is a 720P tv, I'm told no matter what you try to do with a video card or anything else you probably will not be able to change the resolution to 1080P because this tv will not be able to handle it.

Steve, regarding your question. I'm not sure. I returned the 720 due to lack of tv tuner and replaced with the new operating system.

I believe its 1080. You just need to make sure the plugs are the same. There are two with the same model. One has one plug, one has two.

your tv is always displaying 120hz, what you see on the screen is what he input frame rate is so your tv is taking 60 hz and converting it to 120.

Yes its 1080p, and its wired only. I've only had issues with mine playing Blue-rays even after sending it out for service.

1080p/60Hz refers to the source input, the TV is telling you that's the signal it is receiving -- and the input doesn't change when 120 Hz is on.

I just bought my tv and hooked it up, so I'm not completely sure. My guess however, is that maybe it's with how you are connecting it to a device or set top box. For instance when I connect my tv to my old DVD player with component cables, it is only capable of 720p and 60Hz. I believe if I were to connect it with HDMI cables to an HD device that would change. Like I said though, I'm new to this too, but right now that's my understanding.

One thing to check is your input signal. I thouvght my picture was "soap opera-y" too and have been trying things here and there to see what might make it better. One test I did was to change the output of my cable box from 1080i to 720p, when I did this it got way worse. So you might want to check to see if you have a similar setting on your cable box and check what it is set to. If it's already 1080i, some of the other suggestions might help. I'm getting DirecTV on Sunday and am hoping their 1080p HD will make some difference for the good... I'll let you know.

In my experience, it depends on the station you're watching. Some have higher pixels, some smaller. Movies as a rule are truer to 1080.

Only happen on the DVR? Go in to the settings on the DVR and see what they have on the menu for video aspect and HDMI output - set to 16x9 and 720P if it's not set.
