----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
Richard,
I said that they were not listed in 2005 CES companies, they were in 2004. I do not know if they
still in business, and I would not be surprised if they do not.
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra

I guess since you did not see them at CES 2004 or 2005 they did not make it?
Thanks

>>Shane,

>>Unfortunately, the short answer is no. The set does not display 720p as
>>720p.
>>
>>A few months ago another person asked a similar question regarding
>>another Sony set, on that case it was very misleading the way Sony
>>presented 720p capabilities. I researched every line of the set's
>>documentation and user manual and even exchanged an online chat with
>>Sony to verify what the set did when receiving 720p. I concluded that
>>NO Sony CRT based set can natively display 720p, they convert (some call
>>it "up" others call it "down") 720p to 1080i and display it as 1080i.
>>
>>To respond properly to your inquiry I just did the same research for
>>this person; I came to the same conclusion.
>>
>>Actually, it would not be profitable for Sony to make a set that is able
>>to sync to the faster 720p raster and sell it for $999.
>>
>>Since 1998 there were only a handful of HDTV tubes (direct-view or RPTV)
>>that were able to handle 720p natively, a 56" RPTV from Panasonic in
>>1999 was well known at that time, and a line of 720p direct-view sets
>>endorsed by Joe Kane in 1998. Additionally, on the 2003 and 2004
>>reports one can find a handful of sets with that ability, most expensive
>>and FPTVs, I remember Richard asked me to produce a list of all the
>>existing sets (over a year ago), I emailed at the Tips list for the
>>benefit of all, I am sure is archived some place.
>>
>>With the arrival (and abundance) of fixed-pixel-displays (DLP, LCD, PDP,
>>etc) it would be more common to find 720p capabilities than it was with
>>CRT based products.
>>
>>If for this person a 720p native display for Xbox is of primary
>>importance he should consider one of the fixed-pixel-display
>>alternatives.
>>
>>As to the Xbox itself, I do not get involved with video gaming at all,
>>but I would guess that the speed of video gaming images would be better
>>served with a 720p resolution, and with the proliferation of
>>fixed-pixel-displays I would understand why the 720p choice (rather than
>>1080i). There are a few gamer forums that this person might want to
>>consult to get deeper into that subject.
>>
>>If video gaming is the main purpose of TV for this person, he might also
>>want to look at the prototypes for 3-D RPTVs on the 50-inches+ demo at
>>last CES (is on my 2005 report), they might become a street product if
>>the market calls for it.
