480i/p, 720i/p ot 1080i/p?

[jpbl68]

I'm new to high def so if what I'm about to type doesn't make much sense I apologise. I've got a 19" LCD HD Ready TV with 1440x900 pixel resolution and a contrast ratio of 500:1 but I can't seem to work out whether it's 480i/p, 720i/p ot 1080i/p and it doesn't say in the manual.

what brand tv?

 

[jpbl68]

It's a Goodmans

 

[bandphan]

is at tv or a monitor? 900i would be my guess

 

[jpbl68]

It receives analogue and digital TV but can also be used as a PC monitor. Is 900i a guess or is there a way of working it out?

It's none of the above - it's 1440 x 900. Being an LCD it is progressive scan so you could call it 900p.

The question is which of those formats can it accept as input. Any format that it accepts will be converted to 1440 x 900.

 

[jpbl68]

OK. I don't think I understood enough about this stuff when I posted originally. I'm just trying to work out what the full potential of my TV could be.

Fixed pixel displays always display images at their native resolution, in you case 1440 X 900. So if you want to call you TV something I'd use 900P like MDS suggested. I'd feed it a higher resolution source, like 1080i or 1080P and let your set rescale the image to 900P.
