You would need a 1920x1080 panel to correctly display 1080i and only CRT sets for consumers are capable of this.

Your LCD set accepts 1080i and deinterlaces it and scales it to your TV's native resolution, which is probably 768p.

You're losing over 40% of the picture, but it should still blow DVD and broadcast HD out of the water.

With that said should i set my ps3 to 720p or 1080i to watch my blu-ray movies?

i don't think there's a scientific/objective answer to your question, if that's what you're looking for. i would recommend you test your ps3 at both resolutions and decide for yourself which one you think feels better - and i'd be surprised if you could consistently pick one over the other.
