Back in early of 2005, the big manufacturers started to come out with the 1080p HDTVs, the first true high definition television. Sony, Samsung, Toshiba and JVC were among some of the biggest manufacturers to boast about the 1920 by 1080 resolution and how it was the best picture ever. Company spokespeople assured everyone that these were the TVs of the future and would be compatible with all future 1080p devices, such as the Sony PS3 and the Blu Ray, among other devices.

Now, almost any screen that is actually made can be technically considered a 1080 device, since all you need is to be able to display the 1080 lines. Only CRT monitors can not perform this task at all. The problem arises when you try and plug a 1080i device into the 1080p output on these TVs. You will not see any image on the screen, and every company swore up and down that this would not happen. There are ways to get around this, but you will lose half your resolution and give you a horrible picture, certainly not up to the standards of a high definition TV, or HDTV.

Since the large companies such as LG, Sony and Samsung promised these new HDTVs would work fine, you have a legal ground to stand on. Not only can you not use their product the way they intended, they lied to the consumer and could not keep up with the technology.
