I have 20/20 vision, and i disagree. Not based on a review thread, but based on my own eyes. You must not have a 1080p set, I would highly recommend getting one

That is correct, on a TV that handles both 3:2 and de-interlacing properly, like the Pioneer KURO panels, 1080i60 and 1080p24 are identical.

even the article you linked to siad it

The Pioneer sets pass all 3:2 and deinterlacing tests, but you're right in that a high percentage fail 3:2.

The part of the article you've linked to is referring to an interlaced shot, not a progressive one. When you take 1080p24 and convert to 1080i60 and back, nothing is lost; it's bit-for-bit identical.

If this were a scene shot at 1080i

That is not what we're discussing.
