that happened to me in a comet store not to far from here I was looking at the plasma and LCD hdtv's and a sales dude walked upto me and started laying it on thick, and you know what the little prick said to me when I asked him about Pixel mapping and 1080p.

"All Modern HD lcd tvs can be firmware upgraded to display native 1080p and pixel mapping"

so what he was telling me, if my brain understood it correctly that flashing a hdtv with a firmware update not only fixes bugs ect but it also physically increases the Pixels on tv's

so I said this to him

so uprading the Firmware adds extra pixels to the screen then ?

that to my mechanical mind its like fitting spark plugs to a diesil

he said "yup" after a few seconds pause.

I say "thanks mate Ill be on my way now"

I dont know much about hd tv's but its an impossability right ?

sounds like a load of crap.

What he MEANT to say was, all HD LCD TVs can be updated to downscale and display 1080p signals at their native resolution.

[Indian Butt Magic]

even that sounds stupid if the hardware in the tv cant handle the bandwidth needed for converting the 1080p signal...

I took my mate to buy a TV today, the sales people were so busy he ended up with a 1080p (LE40M86BD) model instead of the 720p (LE40R88BD) one he'd paid for so we kept our mouths shut and left.

lucky mofo.
