What'cha mean it "reads it"?

On the Aquos it reads the signal coming in and displays whatever the resolution it is. For example, I have a DVD player, XBOX 360 and D-TV box all hooked up via HDMI. It displays 480p when playing the DVD's, 1080p on the 360 and 780p on DirecTV. So from that I assume that since all are coming in via the same type of interface that the resolution must be being read somehow.

Oh yeah, I wasn't saying that it wouldn't read the signal. Any 1080p display will read a 1080p source. Heck, you could have a 10" 1080p screen if you wanted.

My point was just that even if it's displaying 1080p, at a viewing distance of 12-15 feet you won't notice the difference between 1080p and 720p on a 50" screen or less.

When I mentioned it reading the 360 at 1080p i was just commenting on the post that said you're only getting a full 1080p source from blu ray. Just being anal. Personally, when I made the decision to spend the money on a nicer TV, I wanted it to be top of the line. My personality is just of the type that if I bought it at 780p and new there was another step up I could've gone for a few hundred bucks more--- I would've regretted the decision. that's all.
