Is this result only for 1080i source ? For example, if i use my KDL40W3000 with a bluray (1080p), i probably have the resolution of 1080p. The test for static and motion resolution is interesting.

Thanks for all your info to help us make better buying decisions. I have one question. Is it better to select a Plasma TV with better motion resolution or one that properly resolves 3:2? It does not look like you can get both. Thanks, Bruce Hello Gary,

Great work. Thanks for all your info to help us make better buying decisions. I have one question. Is it better to select a Plasma TV with better motion resolution or one that properly resolves 3:2? It does not look like you can get both.

Not sure why, some broadcasters deliver 1080i content with SD-like defects (green/black bars on sides etc). Thus the TV manufacturers decided to implement overscan even in 1080 mode - which effectively means that ~3 % of picture is cropped and afterwards the picture is stretched back to 1920x1080 resolution. Of course this has detrimental effect on resolution, since even on Full-HD TVs, pixels no longer match! On many TVs there is a special mode called "1:1 Pixel Mapping" or "Underscan" which avoids the above problem. Now the question is: have you tested the Full-HD TVs in (broken) Overscan mode or in 1:1 Pixel Mapping mode? M. Hi Gary,

There is a 3-2 pulldown On/Off function buried in the user menu, did turning 3-2 on and off in the menu have any effect at all on the TV's performance? And was 3-2 pulldown evaluated for both 480i input as well as 1080i? In your opinion, would adding/using a DVDO Iscan VP30/50 be worth the investment to get proper 3-2 pulldown? Thanks, and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Eric G Hi Gary,

Or you could call the publisher and order a back issue. Hey Brian,

What about flat tube widescreen hdtv's.... like the 30" Samsung. Any info would be helpful. Is the general public really beta testings LCD's, plasma's, and rear screen TV's for the manufactures?

How does a direct digital input from a computer look? Is it processed in the same manner? Shouldn't a high-end graphics card like an nvidia 8800 produce 1920x1080 directly to the display and avoid having to de-interlace and process the signal? Looking at using a 37-42 for a gaming rig. Thanks. Your review looked at tv and video signal.
