Yes it is. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif HDTV is 720p and 1080i:

An HDTV-compatible TV usually uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. The high resolution images (1920 pixels × 1080 lines or 1280 pixels × 720 lines) allow much more detail to be shown compared to analog television or regular DVDs.

What I ment was that the screen shots themselves isnt HDTV reso. My display's only 1024x768

Batman Begins 1280x544 (more like 1024x544 due to my display's size)

Space Shuttle Discovery is 1024x768 in full screen.

Yep, they did. A friend of mine is trying to decide if he should buy one with HDMi or with PC video-in.

I'd say HDMi since they sell cables to make HDMi -> DVI (at least I have seen a few companies here in the states that do).

And he could buy an adapter of some kind. He'll have the desktop pc upstairs, and if he wants to connect something to it, it will be the laptop, which may or not have TV-out.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm referring to these captures from some HDTV movie rips: http://www.atmorgen.com/HDTV.htm

The only one I know of is the top of the line Sharp aequos... It has full 1920x1080 resolution...

The older Plasmas have only 848x452 and the newer ones 1280x720 or 1336x720

At least, that's what you can buy in Germany... The full res sharp costs about 10 Grand and is a 45'' I believe...
