  • tonetone210 says:

    if you (1080i) followers want to really see the difference..
    get your self a samsung LED tv!
    the newest tv’s out.
    u wont ask anymore questions:)
    1080 p is a big difference.
    ive had my share of tv’s i wud definately know.
    when ur going small in size. of course. go get your self a nice little 720/1080i tv. i wud!
    but when ur goin 50 and up.
    1080 p is ur best choice.
    no arguements involvedd! :D

    He has a vague understanding of what he’s talking about.

    But you don’t get 60 frames a second with 1080p…you get 30. With 1080i, you get 30 frames a second, each consisting of 1/2 of the lines.

    woa i just came to see which resolution is better and now i here which is the better one exp. ps3 vs xbox 360 o.O which is wich dudes?

  • doughyjoey5 says:

    he’s not dissing just clarifying. he’s right though. he seems to know as much as a comsumer. the DOTS are pixels and with digital displays you are no longer talking about lines. he is smashing digital and analog terms together when there is a distinct difference in how the resolution is defined.

  • joeldude76 says:

    lol im getting a used 1080i i really dont car for 1080p vs 1080i aas long as its hd and its a 65″ rear projecition mitsubishi

  • bandit7498 says:

    sorry, but this guy just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 1080i and 1080p are diferent resolutions, period. interlaced and progressive are different.

  • MW2Home says:

    um try 80″ led toshiba

  • joeldude76 says:

    to expensive

  • ramentasteawesome says:

    @bandit7498
    No they both have 1080 pixels verticaly.

  • thagreatest29 says:

    Okay 720p is greater that 1080i because 1080i is actually 540 lines of info where as 720p is 720 lines of info. Then you get into the ultimate picture 1080p which is 1080 lines of information. But as technology goes I say we will be getting double that in 10 years. TV is turning into computer. How computers are obsolete after 3-6 months because the technology is evergrowing. So for people loving 1080i get 720p you’ll be more satisfied

    hahaha

    I have Comcast HD and change the settings on the cable box to 720p, now all my HD chanels are 720p. Most are broadcasted in 1080i but some are 720p.
    720p looks much better then 1080i, but my Blu-ray is 1080p and looks great!

    Interlacing blows.
