How do I get my HDTV to display the same as the left side of the 1080p full-motion demo on the whole screen?

My new HDTV (pn50b860) has a feature called 1080p full-motion demo where it shows half of the screen normally and the other half of the screen shows movement absolutely crystal clear. I hope to see this all the time but understand if it is limited to a game or blu ray player.

Thanks for the help!How do I get my HDTV to display the same as the left side of the 1080p full-motion demo on the whole screen?I work in television and with all HD formats and different specs.(1080p, 720p, 1080i) Broadcast television will never be in full 1080p, it can't be. The reason it can't be is because only a 1080p television can display in 1080p, if you have a native 720p television, you wouldn't be able to see anything. The networks and cable networks would have to broadcast in both 1080p and 720p or 1080i which wouldn't make any sense, there isn't going to be a 1080p channel and then a 720p channel of the same thing. Try watching a bluray player set to 1080p on a native 720p HDTV, you won't see anything. All that talk about full 1080p HD is a marketing ploy to sell tvs so people believe they are getting "the absolute best quality" when in reality, unless you have bluray or a PS3 or XBOX 360, 1080p means nothing. Not to mention that there isn't much noticeable difference, you wouldn't be able to tell between 1080p, 720p, or 1080i anyway.How do I get my HDTV to display the same as the left side of the 1080p full-motion demo on the whole screen?Well right now no broadcaster is sending out 1080p, so it won't do a lick of difference for broadcast television. Maybe in the future when they upgrade the lines, but who knows when or if that will happen.



Likely this feature is only going to kick in for BluRay discs. That's really your only source of 1080p materials right now. And it might not work on all discs as not all of them may be 1080p (I think most should be, but everyone can be manufactured differently, so there's no guarantee).



But as its a Plasma TV its going to do a great job with motion all the time anyway. Whatever you feed it, it will do as good of a job with the motion as a TV can right now. If there are flaws then its more likely coming from what you're feeding it rather than anything to do with the TV.How do I get my HDTV to display the same as the left side of the 1080p full-motion demo on the whole screen?The point of a demo is to show you what is available in the TV.

Of course, the option for 1080p full motion is available for any source.
