eWeek.com, part of Ziff Davis enterprises, recently released an overview of Lotus Foundations. It is simple, jargon-less and in a video format (and I love videos!) It is currently proudly displayed on their main homepage. Check it out.
P.S. I’ll try to capture the video and will upload it on youtube shortly.
Edit:
Whether you’re dealing with 1080p/24 or standard 1080p/60, doesn’t alter our overall views about 1080p TVs. We still believe that when you’re dealing with TVs 50 inches and smaller, the added resolution has only a very minor impact on picture quality. In our tests, we put 720p (or 768p) sets next to 1080p sets, then feed them both the same source material, whether it’s 1080i or 1080p, from the highest-quality Blu-ray player. We typically watch both sets for a while, with eyes darting back and forth between the two, looking for differences in the most-detailed sections, such as hair, textures of fabric, and grassy plains. Bottom line: It’s almost always very difficult to see any difference–especially from farther than 8 feet away on a 50-inch TV.
The main difference you want to keep in mind when making cost trade-offs is what type of content you watch and how close you sit. If you watch movies and TV sitting at a customary distance, you will not see any difference between 1080 and 720 resolution. It’s not that there isn’t a difference if you stick your nose right up to the screen. It’s just that your eyes aren’t capable of seeing a difference in resolution that small at normal viewing distances. On the other hand, if you hook your TV up to your computer and sit 3 feet away from a 50 inch screen, you probably can see a difference. Save your dollars folks. Grab that $499 50″ 720p (1080i) LCD TV!
