One is interlaced and one is progressive.. Progressive is better for games but it doesn't make a blind bit of difference if your TV is under 40 inches

i think 32 inches is well enough to do a resolution of 1920x1080. my pc monitor is only 17 inches and its about that high.

interlaced display only shows every other line of the image at once. it shows for instance, lines 1, 3, 5, etc, then 2, 4, 6, etc.

progressive shows the entire image, resulting in a much clearer picture. since 1080i is interlaced, and 720p is progressive, i'd say 720 looks better although the resolution is a little lower, because the image is progressive

720p should look better than 1080i. Difference between 1080i and 1080p is not significant.

I don't think one can see much of a difference.

the most subtle difference are the letterings. Text in 1080i looks alot blurry compared to text in 720p. I can only assume that i can be said that 1080p has sharp text.

The xmb looks much better at 1080i than 720p. I've tried it both on a 766p and a 1050p tv. Games I just let it choose whatever.

it's the scan

progressive is supposed to be better, and more accurate for fast moving things ... like a racing game mostly

interlaced is just there because it's a bit more simple to produce ... but progressive scan is really better

>_> anyone bothered checking wikipedia?...

You can see a world of difference between 1080p and 1080i, unless the picture is standing completely still.. Progressive scan isn't just "really better".. it's.. hell of alot better, especially with alot of moving.. (hence why 720p will look better than 1080i)

Also LCD and PLasma TVs don't output interlaced video as well as CRT Tvs.

"Interlacing does not work well with modern display technologies, such as LCDs. Deinterlacing attempts to reverse the interlacing process to produce single higher resolution frame suitable for these displays. However, the original interlaced signal did not contain these frames in a complete form, and de-interlacing is a fundamentally lossy process that generally produces some image degradation."link

1080p is not equivelant to 720p+1080i.

it would be more accurate to say 1080i x 2 = 1080p

very nice. it's hard to adequately explain with words. a picture is worth a thousand words, as they say
