How do you change a Panasonic tc-p50s1 from 720p to 1080p?

The process is very simple - you don't.

HD television can be broadcast in one of two formats. 720p is one and 1080i is the other. Local sources such as Bluray and games consoles can also use 1080p. All HD televisions will accept any of the formats and display them without any adjustment by the user. Therefore, users will not be aware of the specific format used in most cases.


There are some exceptions: Some older HD televisions cannot handle 1080p signals. While this is rare in current televisions, if 1080p signals cannot be shown, check in the manual to see if they can be accepted. If not, the source will need to be adjusted to operate at 1080i rather than 1080p.
