All I can tell from testing between the 3 for 2 days is 720p is slightly more grainy. 1080 interlaced there is more of a shimmer moving around the environment vs progressive scanning. 1080p is pretty much the best you can get of both worlds right now. on a 32 inch tv I think the difference is so slight it does not warrant spending more money. it will probably annoy me enough to death though where I will because i'm a moron like that though. but it is so slight it's ridiculous. I can see where people say they can tell the difference but it's so very slight. thing is even at 1080p you are still going to get a slight shimmer. depending on response time, refresh rate etc.... switching between 720p and 1080i still get a slight shimmer but its less pronounced. There is a difference I can say that much. How much of a difference is kind of ridiculous. I think i'm pretty fair and unbiased in my assessment here. I did all the tests myself. On bigger screen 1080p vs 720p might be more noticeable but you are still talking about a ton of pixels either way and are pushing the same polygons regardless. at 720p im probably getting better framerates. So there is an advantage too.
Anyways can't believe I spend 2 hours last night and like an hour doing this today. That's 3 hours of my life I can't get back lol.
All these tests were done using a ps4 and infamous second son. Panasonic 32 inch 720p tv with 1080 interlaced 8ms response time and 60hz refresh which seems pretty standard, and a 23 inch 1080p monitor with 7 ms response time and 60hz refresh.
If I buy a 1080p tv it would most likely be 40 inch, 4 ms response or whatever I can find for $500 which is about what it would cost for a decent brand. I think if I do I'm ridiculous because it's so slight a difference it's absurd.
