Answer 1

Here is the difference

http://hometheater.about.com/od/televisi...

From what I've heard, the 1080p is vastly superior.  I am not sure you can even get the 1080i in most places.  I have the vizio 1080p and I LOVE it.

Answer 2

idn but i think 1080i is just better i have one of those

Answer 3

progressive scan vs. interlaced. theres no difference in resolution, just the process through which it is achieved. you cant really tell the difference to be honest. progressive scan is supposed to be better for video games.

claiming that 720p is better than 1080i is ridiculous.

regardless, if you plan on purchasing a television, make sure its a samsung. the best by far, a bit pricey but worth the investment.

Answer 4

1080i is 1080 lines of interlaced pixels which means when displaying in 1080i you are only getting half the lines at any given time as 2 images interlaced are being flashed separately at any given time basically 1080i is 540p

the 1080p is 1080 lines of progressive pixels. which means you get the full image at any given time which is full 1080p.

so in reality 1080i is worse than 720p

the scale goes from least picture quality to best:

480i  480p 1080i 720p 1080p

Answer 5

1080p is the best and highest of high definition

1080i is slightly below it

Answer 6

Why not 1080ip?

Answer 7

1080p has a higher reaction time. Like when you press the volume button, it shows up on the screen right away. It only makes a difference when you play video games on the TV.

Otherwise, get the 1080i. Unless...the 1080p is cheaper...then get that one.

Answer 8

1080p true high deffinition, 1080i still high deffinition but not as good, less pixels , if u want the better tv go with anything 1080p
