When i watch movies it says 1920x1080 @ 60hz. WTF is that mean???? Is that Good, bad, average, excellent. What is 60hz??? I wanna know if movies i'm watching is HD.

60 Hz just means you are using an NTSC frequencies.....dont know about the resolution though.

1920x1080 is 1080p. That's the highest resolution for true high definition. So yes, your tv is showing HD. The fact that it tells you what the resolution is means that the movie can be displayed in that resolution. Is your TV 1080i or 1080p?

SWEEET!! I thought my tv max was 1080i. When i play 1080i it's 1920x540. When i play 1080p it's 1920x 1080. When i bought it they told me it can't do 1080p. Is 60hz the max refesh time for HD movie?????

60 hz is a frequency......60hz represents NTSC 50hz represents PAL.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like he's referring to Frames per second (FPS) rather than pixel refresh rate.

So is that the best refresh time????

the frequency is set to either of those 2 settings,depending on what region the source is. In the US i dunno if they use PAL at all,but up here we can do both if it's a certain region. If you play it in the wrong setting you get a nice B+W rolling image usually.

Well, if the store you bought it from said it's a 1080i HDTV, I would tend to believe them. What did the sales tag say? Usually the specs are written there. Do you have the instruction manual? If your HD DVD allows you to choose 1920x1080, I'm don't think you will actually see that if your TV can't output that resolution. I can try to play a PC game on a wierd resolution, and my graphics card will spit something out, but it will look odd and not play correctly. So it's possible that even though your movie says it's outputting 1080p, that may not be what you are seeing.

The movie can be output at that high resolution. That may not necessarily mean that the TV will show it.

I'm not an expert though and I haven't watched a HD or bluray movie off an actual disc. In the movie, is there an option to choose a 1080i output?

Actually in movies, there is no options to select video output. Its based on the TV and the DVD player. If you have a blu-ray player, it will select the max your TV can handle. Most likely 720p. Otherwise the DVD player will upscale the movie, in most cases, it will be fine, other cases, the TV doesn't support the upscaling ("progressive") and the movie will look funny. The main options are either 720p or 1080p, 1080i is a sub resolution, that is actually lower than 720p, since its not progressive, but interlaced.
