Resolution 1440 x 900 pixels.

hmm.. it's definately not 1080p, as it doesn't support enough vertical lines, it only supports 900..

there isn't a reason why it won't display a 720p picture though, and it does have 2x HDMI's, so you can plug in your PS3 that way, and the PS3 should choose the best picture format for the screen

so you don't think its 920?
its just a basic good quility but not hd though ?

It's HD Ready so it will be capable of displaying 720p, it just doesn't have enough pixels to be able to do full HD of 1080..

so it is a 720p?

Have you a Sainsbury's in your area?

They are selling a FullHD (1080p) 21.5" LCD freeview TV for £199

I've had my eye on a 1080p TV for a few weeks and was going to order it online.

I'm not sure of the quality, but for a fullHD TV it's a good price!

Anything smaller than about a 37" telly will not benefit from being 1080p. Especially at this small size then a decent 720p set will far out-perform a poor 1080p set. Just take a look at the top quality LCD TV manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, you'll not see any of them making 1080p sets on anything under a 32"/37".

Also, I'd be surprised if it was a true 1080p set with the full resolution or whether it would just accept a 1080p signal and then fit it on a 720 resolution screen. My Sony 32" Bravia does this and also my 20" Bravia accepts 1080i and fits it to a 720 screen. Now these TV's do the conversion very well but perhaps a cheaper set wouldn't.

That will almost certainly be absolute junk

I was aluding to that point in a round-a-bout and waffly way but you just came right out with it... Well put.
