Outputs 1080p?
Outputs 1080p?
1080p means that the product outputs a signal at 1920x1080 resolution 60 times per second. This is the very best HD resolution that only the highest end products support. In some cases, however, it actually offers very little improvement over 1080i, since most sources are less than 1080p anyway, and are upconverted to 1080p in the product.
Availability

What is the availability of this product on a scale of 0-5? 0 means that the product is not available with any degree of regularity and will not be shown during searches. 5 means that a product is widely available. Wide availability is important, as it leads to better product support and less likelihood that your product will be abandoned by the manufacturer leaving you stranded when it comes to updates or support.

The primary uses for the MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversational(videophone),and broadcast television. It is slowly taking over from MPEG-2, especially for HD formats.
Outputs 1080i (HD or High Definition)?
Outputs 1080i (HD or High Definition)?
1080i means that the product alternates odd and even lines giving a signal of 1920x540 60 times per second. Most HD channels broadcast at this resolution. Some televisions require that all HD broadcasts (including 720p) be converted to this resolution (especially HD tube TVs and CRTs with guns instead of LCD or DLP projectors). Also, matching the output resolution to the broadcast resolution often results in a better picture. Some products can upconvert a lower resolution signal (such as a DVD) to this resolution.
