1080i vs. 1080p - Blu-ray Forum

j_rocca42 · 06-25-2007, 08:42 PM

I've got a 42" panasonic plasma that I got before if had my PS3 and before I knew much about 1080i, or 1080p. Now it's a 1080i t.v. and It looks amazing for all of my BD's and games on my PS3, but now i'm looking to get a new t.v. Am I really going to notice a difference between 1080i and 1080p??? I know 1080p is the best available, just wanna get some thoughts...

There is a difference, but you probably won't notice unless you go 50" or bigger.

Really? Cuz I've been eye-balling this 46" 1080p sony at my work for a while!

anything above 40" is good for 1080p. it also depends on your sitting distance as well. but if you're going to get a new tv you might as well go with 1080p for a little more futureproofing. i know i would.
