i just got my panasonic 50in plasma. the native reolution is 1366 x 768. which resolution should i set it with 720p or 1080i? i'm using to watch hdtv, blu-ray dvds, and playing ps3 games. some articles say 720p is better and some say 1080i is. also is there a big noticeable difference between 1080i and 1080p on a 50in plasma?

It's going to depend somewhat on the way the source device handles scaling and deinterlacing - and on the resolution of the original source material - but I'd expect 720p to look the best. Don't be afraid to try both, though.

With a native resolution of 768p, the difference between 1080i and 1080p (assuming the display will accept a 1080p signal) is going to probably be negligable.

gonk, like always, thanks for the quick reply. gonk do you have any insight on the buzzing issue on my previous post. please advise. angelo

I've got that thread open in my browser still, but haven't had a chance to dig into it enough to offer anything useful.
