Shoul I buy a 720 or 1080 LCD for my APPLE TV?

I want to be able to run high res images from my iPhoto library slideshow to the LCD via the Apple TV. I see great prices at COSTCO on LCD's but their employees are not mac savvy.
Can someone kindly advise if a 1080 HD LCD is overkill vs. a 720 HD LCD? I will use a HDMI cable to connect.
Thanks for you advise in advance.

I believe that the Apple TV is limited to only 720p output at this time. The device does offer settings for connection to both 720 and 1080p or i compatible TV sets. I would still recommend you go with the 1080p set because it is probably only a matter of time until the ATV offers 1080 resolutions. It also depends on the size of screen you are looking to purchase. If you are going to go with 36" or smaller then 720p will be fine. If you are looking at anything larger than 36" then I would go with the 1080p. On the smaller screens the human eye cannot tell the difference between 729 and 1080, but you can most certainly see the difference on the larger screens.

  • Is is the right time to buy a 720?

    720 is on sale for about 11 months now & its perfect for me but for 512mb ram. with mwc 2014 it MAY get 1gb successor and ram matters even wid nokia apps (refocus,beamer) so shud i or shud i not buy 720 ryt now???

    Only Apple knows when new models will be introduced and they only will tell on the day of release.  If the current crop of models fulfill your needs, purchase one.  If not, you are welcome to wait but you will not know for how long.

  • New Apple TV starts as 720 not 1080?

    Hi
    I have just bought a new Apple TV directly from Apple.
    I am connecting to a Sony Bravia TV, but when connecting it reports resolution as 720, not 1080. I have tried a different cable, but no joy.
    I also have BT Vision through another AV channel and will switch ports / cables if I have to, but I am hoping you will tell me I am missing something simple :-) Please?

    Not what I was hoping to hear, but at least I know now!
    Thanks for your help

  • OT - Youtube in 720 or 1080?

    Does it make a difference if a video is uploaded to YouTube at 720 or 1080? Youtube is going to compress it anyways, just curious to hear what others think. I did a test video and wasn't able to see much difference, however, it could have just been that video. Are there other reasons/benefits to uploading in one size or the other?
    Thanks.

    Since YT changes at times, the best place to read is on their page

    Play this video at full screen and you will see the difference between 1080 and 720 videos on YouTube. Make shure you set the video to play at 1080.

  • 720 to 1080

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question.
    I have FCP X and film all my footage in 1080p.   I finished my project and uploaded it only to realize that the footage was downgraded to 720. 
    Does anyone know a quick way to just change the project I already pieced together from being 720 to 1080 so that I don't have to re edit anything?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Quickest: You can create a new projects with custom 1080 settings then copy the 720 timeline and paste it to the 1080 project TL.
    Of course, most of the time it's best to let FCP determine the project settings automatically determine the project settings from the first clip.

  • G5 Dual 2 GHz won't smoothly play 720 or 1080 HD Quicktime Trailers

    Dual Processor Power Mac G5 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM
    I could have sworn that my G5 used to be able to play all levels of HD movies smoothly as anything sometime during normal Tiger usage.
    Then one day, I noticed my G5 when on Tiger would stutter playing anything about 480.
    I thought the upgrade to Leopard would fix this. But just today I upgraded to 10.5.3 on this G5 (I used the upgrade option on the install DVD to upgrade from Tiger) and it STILL won't play HD trailers 720 or 1080 smoothly.
    is this supposed to be? Do I not have the minimum requirements to watch those kinds of resolutions anymore?
    I know this machine is 4 years old now, but seriously? That seems crazy to me.
    Does anyone else have this configuration and see similar or different behavior?
    thank you

    at least I finally hear of someone else w/ the same issue
    your machine should, in my opinion, completely be able to play HD quicktime movies.
    the funny thing for me is that once, I had 10.5.1 (or even 10.5.2) on a FW drive, and I COULD play them smoothly when booted from it
    and now that I have 10.5.3......I can't

  • Replaced iPod screen myself, screen not working. Will i be eligible to get a screen   LCD repair from Apple ?

    I dropped my ipod by accident and i decided to repair the ipod myself by buying a screen off eBay. I replaced the the screen and everything was working when i tested the iPod before screwing the backplate back on. When i closed the iPod, it had a white screen when i power up. I held the power and home button for 30 second and nothing happens. The power button still powers the screen on and home, and when i hold it down it powers off the iPod.Replaced iPod screen myself, screen not working.
