Wouldn't 1080p60 encoded with double the bitrate of 1080i60 be a waste of room ? First, in 24 or 30 FPS content, 1080i60 doesn't change anything from 1080p60. For 60 FPS content, yes, there's a difference, but how big is it ? Deinterlacing may not be consistent in terms of image reconstruction from one device to another, but we would need proper benchmarks with 1080p content filmed at real 60 FPS and coded via two ways : 1080p60 signal and 1080i60 signal. Signals would be decoded by different devices (tuners, computers, TVs) and the images displayed compared. By the way, how many cameras can record 1080p60 signals ?
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.
