Major Nelson asks what's best for gaming? 720p, 1080i or 1080p
On this edition of Major Nelson's weekly podcast he has a special guest, Tyler the HDTV expert. Among the things
they discussed were what HD means, a few of the reasons Microsoft chose HD-DVD to support, why the Olympic broadcast
isn't the best it could be, and the many different formats of HD. It's a pretty long conversation that I'll try to
summarize here, but I suggest you give it a listen to get all the details on why 720p may be better for gaming than
1080i or even 1080p (which the PS3 will apparently have and
the Xbox 360 doesn't).We will leave the breakdown of spatial and temporal resolution to Tyler, but there are several elements here to consider.
