The 65-inch AQUOS is not only the world's largest widescreen LC HDTV, it also delivers a stellar 1080p
It does true 1920x1080 pixel resolution.
However it up converts all signals to 1080 from 480 and 720P
007.
Thankfully all resolution conversion results in a progressive signal with no downconversion. While there is no advantage of viewing 480p and 720p @ 1080p, there certainly isn't a disadvantage if the processing is done right with minimal upsampling errors. I'm curious how 1080i material looks on this set, and if goes through a 3:2 pulldown processor like older sets do with 480i-to-480p
Hardware members in Colorado, Peru, or Nepal might want to read this:
"When Plasma TVs are placed in homes at elevations above 6,500 feet, they will often emit an annoying buzzing noise. This is due to the fact that the plasma gas inside the TV is subject to air pressure, and the higher the altitude, the more the TV will be prone to buzzing."
Add that to the many other reasons why people should turn to another technology if they desire a flat panel display.
