So yes, i got from my parents their old tv, 32" samsung HD ready. I hooked up it to computer with HDMI cable to watch movies and shit, it seems the panel can display 1080p without problems? -.-. I thought HD ready is max 720p and PC resolution is 1360x768. In nvidia control panel is says on Samsung LCD, PC tab 1360x768 (native), but on HD tab it says 1080p (recommended). 1080p looks very crisp and no it doesnt upscale the resolution to 1080i. So what the hell?

What model exactly? Look it up on google. But yeh "HD ready" usually means 720p screens. Corsair 750D :: 750W DPS-G:: Asus x370 PRO :: R7 1800X ::16gb DDR4 :: GTX 1070::525gb SSD::Coolermaster 240MM AIO:: Last edited by Slizza on Wed, 15th Dec 2010 19:52; edited 1 time in total

HD Ready usually means 1360x768 native, capable of 1080i, at least that's what my parents' HD ready TV does (Panasonic Viera TX..something ) o_O Count yourself lucky I guess! Join in on the war on LeoSatan

It actually downscales the 1080p resolution to its native 768p. It's done to support players which cannot resample output themselves (like cheap settopps, cheap bluray players, etc). Of course, watching 1080p content which is downscaled is still preferable to upscaled 720p (notice the TV is 768p and not 720p), so still worth getting that.

When i press info button on remote it says on 1080p resolution in the TV 1920x1080p @ 60hz, and when in 1080i it says 1920x1080i. To me it seems that the TV can really show "true" 1080p. Dunno what is going on, but not complaining

google the model number = question answered and if it is an "old" 32" I'm betting no way it's 1080p, the really wasn't the norm for 32" until maybe less than a year ago. asus z170-A \|\| core i5-6600K \|\| geforce gtx 970 4gb \|\| 16gb ddr4 ram \|\| win10 \|\| 1080p led samsung 27"

Made a test picture for you. Download this .GIF

Spoiler:

and view it in fullscreen (this is very important). Now go really close to the picture.

If it looks sharp, like this

Then everything is ok

If it looks blurry, like this

Well then it's not native 1080p Smile
