720P vs 1080i - Blu-ray Forum

test123455 · 10-04-2011, 05:51 AM

My cable box doesnt support 1080P, but does support everything else. It's currently on 1080i, but i was wondering if 720P would be better. Thoughts?

There's no way of knowing which will look better on your equipment. Why not try it both ways yourself on a variety of channels and types of content.

And there are numerous threads that have discussed this topic over the years. One is just 5-6 threads down from yours in this forum.

In VERY general terms, 1080i would be best for all except fast action sports, which 720p "could" be better. It really depends on your equipment and what you feel your eyes tell you.
