In the Plasma LCD Televisions (Plasma TV and LCD TV) technology, we often hear a famous technical term that is 1080. What does 1080, 1080p or 1080i mean? Is it important enough so we have to consider it before make a buying decision? Well, in this article we will find out, keep reading.
The term of 1080 in the Plasma LCD Televisions is the short name for a category of display resolutions. It’s not so difficult to guess that the number 1080 represents for 1080 lines of vertical resolution or 1080 horizontal scan lines.
A more specific term in the Plasma LCD Televisions is 1080p, while the letter p stands for Progressive Scan. Progressive means the image is not interlace (1080i). The progressive system displays all of the scan lines at the same time. It eliminates flickering in screen images. The interlace system switches the display between the odd-number scan lines and the even-number scan lines every 1/60th of a second.
1080p can be referred to as Full HD or Full High Definition to differentiate it from other HDTV video modes. This term in Plasma LCD Televisions usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels (16*1080/9=1920), so in total creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels (~ 2 Mega Pixels).
In addition to the meaning of 1080p as a display resolution of Plasma LCD Televisions, 1080p is also used to describe video equipment capabilities. Use of 1080p and the closely related 1080i labels in consumer products may refer to a range of capabilities.
It’s easy to understand that the equipment which capable of displaying both 720p and 1080i may in fact not have the capability to display 1080p material at full resolution. Sometimes, 1080p is referred to marketing materials as Plasma LCD Televisions complete High-Definition.
The other term is “native 1080p-capable” which sometimes used to refer to equipment capable of rendering 1080p fully.
