PS3/HDTV Rendering Speed/No Framerate Compromises

It clearly states that it accepts a 1080p input signal if your talking about my link.

The spec sheet clearly states it does NOT accept a 1080p HDTV signal.

HDTV Compatibility
480i, 480P, 720P, 1080i​

You guys need to realize that just because something says it's 1080p doesn't mean it's true 1080p, you need to look deeper and go throug the specs, and even then it seems they don't tell the whole story.

From your link:

Yeah I saw that under the "HD ready" sub-title, but they state,

LCD True HD display 1920x1080p

This display has a resolution that is referred to as True HD. With state-of-the-art LCD screen
technology it has the full high-definition widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. This is the highest
resolution that HD broadcast can transmit. It allows the best possible picture quality from any format of
HD input signal. It produces brilliant flicker-free progressive scan pictures with optimum brightness and
superb colours. This vibrant and sharp image will provide you with an enhanced viewing experience.

So they are claiming a true 1080P display still. Best to ring them up!
 
Or read the two separate documents produced by Philips, linked in this thread, that both indicate 1366x768 :oops:

Confusion smiley shows you're confused. The wonders of modern technology we can actually transmit emotions across da web! :oops:

1080p for a PS3 game would likely result in a 30-hz capped framerate compromise if only because the 1080p 60-hz spec isn't well standardized for TVs.

that looks absolutely fantastic! Are there any estimated price points for these babies yet?

Those OLEDs are just prototypes - actual OLED sets are a couple of years off as they try to coat the film in such a way that it does not degrade. OLED is certainly the future though; you'll see them increasingly used in cell phone and camera displays. I'm sure game boys and next-gen PSPs will be using them soon enough as well. The degredation problem is more manageable with smaller screens.
 
The future is SED. OLED displays will be for cellphones and portable devices. At least that's what my crystal ball says .... ;)
 
SED is nice, but OLED offers just some incredible advantages. SED will be for the people who want thin and CRT-quality. OLED is higher quality than LCD though (supposedly) and offers much lower power draw and interestign form-factor options.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love SED to take off. I mean Canon in the TV space? Craziness.

Ok, here are the only two that both accept and display at 1080p (through a dvi/hdmi connection) currently in existence (to my knowledge).

MD5880

Nice find! That's the first true 1080p sets i've ever seen, released in Sept 2005. So, they're coming along finally!!

Still, 99% of these "1080p" tv sets do not accept native 1080p, and simply being marketed that way. They take 1080i, de-interlace it, and display 1080p.
