How do we set the picture to 1080 megapixels from 480i?

Yo don't. The TV's resolution can't be changed. Only the signal resolution from the source can be altered.

The TV is a fixed pixel device. The panel has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The incoming video signal is scaled to fit that display. If the signal is 480i then it is deinterlaced to make it 480p, and then scaled up to make it 1080p. The amount of detail in the picture doesn't change. It's still a 480i image. It's just blown up to fill a 1080 panel.

The TV reports the resolution of the incoming signal before it is scaled. If you have a BD player you can see the effect of changing the resolution setting from 480p, to 720p, to 1080i, to 1080p 60, to 1080p 24. The last three (the 1080 resolutions) shouldn't look too different with a Blu-ray apart from movement because the native picture is 1080p 24 and the TV is simply converting it back to 1080p 24 for display.

960i is a funny resolution. That would be achieved by line doubling a 480i signal. But it's not one of the VESA HDTV timings. TTBOMK there's no Blu-ray or HD source that generates a 960i image. So even if you could generate it then the TV wouldn't understand what to do with it.

these sets only seem to do 480i and 1080. my set does the same thing.

Can't solve this problem, because I have the same one! I can say that adjusting some of the fine picture contrrols, like brightness, contrast, color etc help a little. This TV is supposed to go 720 and as high as 1080 I thought?..........

find the reolution button on your remote,keep pressing it until you get your 1080

No input on a WS-55511 is capable of 720p . Inputs COMP1 and COMP2 ONLY accept 480i/480p . Input DTV accepts 480i/p and 1080i . When using Input DTV with a component connection(YPbPr) and you get a green or no picture then you will need to navigate the menus and setup input DTV for YPbPr instead of RGB.

In this type of camcorder The lower video quality.
Standar Quality o standar definition will be 480i setting.
in the setup menu it will be an option to change the size of the picture to 480i. thas the standar o lower quality if you want to have a longer recording time in this HD camcorder


Recording modes
1080i (1440x1080), 1080/30p, 1080/24p (via 2:3 pull-down), 480i

I don't think you can change this setting it is playing in whatever you are sending to it ie 480I . If you send it a 1080 picture then it will play in 1080.

Connect your component cables to the DTV connections.

Go into menu on cable remote and open up 480p,480i,720 and 1080 . I think on some of those 1080HD only works on one of the two component inputs. The other is only rated for 720. Usually it has this info on set at input. Hope these suggestions are helpful.
