Honestly, from what I've seen in a number of forums, if you're "too lazy to search" then a lot of members may just be too lazy to offer their opinions. Just a heads-up to ya.

Bottom line, it's better to have 1080p recorded on an disk. It preserves the nature of film itself. But 1080i is not too shabby. It's hard these days to find a display that is not native 1080p (or 720p). I see very few interlaced options left these days.

I've owned my HDTV eversince the PS3 launched and I've been very happy with it, great picture and sound. But lately everone talking 1080p got me thinking you know. Thanks again!

Seriously its faster to type in 1080i and 1080p and hit search rather than creating two threads. Your laziness doesn't pay or make sense.

On a 32'' TV, you will see no difference in my opinion.

Ultimately 1080P is better. But in reality your not going to see it on a 32" screen. I believe a 60" screen is the threshold of being able to see the difference.

Hello

Progressive & Interlaced & 1080/24p

The question should really be Progressive vs Interlaced; and, without exception, Progressive is always significantly better; without exception. For a variety of reasons, this difference may not be seen or appreciated, as there are may factors to this relationship, that I cannot detail here.

What may be a far more important consideration though, is whether a Progressive 1080P Display has the capability of actually displaying the 1080/24p signal natively, that is common to Blu-ray; I cannot stress this capability enough, and a 1080P Display is the fundamental requirement for this ability of Blu-ray.

If you have any questions in this regard; simply go to any store, and compare comparable displays without 1080/24p native display capability, with those that have 1080/24p capability, such as the Panasonic 850 Series and the Pioneer Elite Kuro l 1080P, and any speculation will evaporate in seconds; this is not difficult to determine or understand when approached properly.

This is one of the reasons that I am struggling with the Pioneer Elite Kuro 1080p Plasma Displays; especially the coming PDP-111FD & PDP-151FD, as their 72Hz Capability is compelling enough to draw me to a purchase that I otherwise would not be considering.

I doubt that this is commonly known, but almost twenty years ago, early in the development of what finally became the ATSC Broadcast Standards, which include 1080/24p Capability as Blu-ray; had 1080P been technologically possible, their only would have been 1080P and not the 18 other combinations as a result of this remarkable resolution being possible. Now we have Blu-ray Optical Discs, and I am certain, that as a direct result, we will have 1080/24p Broadcasts considerably sooner than most would speculate. The more 1080P Displays, Blu-ray Players, and Movies sold; and, ATSC Broadcast becomes available; after all, it is simply the push of a button in the broadcast environment.

Thank You

Because this question has been asked a 1,000,000 times, this thread should be closed.

There isn't really much visible difference, but I've noticed some flaws with 1080i. 1080p is excellent, consistent and I think it's perfect. Definitely 1080p.

[WickyWoo]

Your TV is 720p and can accept a 1080i signal. All 1080is that aren't CRTs work like that

[crxvtec]

I prefer to use 480i personaly

You have a 720p television, not a 1080i -- common mistake. A lot of sets produced before 1080p became available were able to accept a 1080i feed, but would convert it to their native resolution of 720p before display. This is the case with your Bravia.

You would see a huge benefit going to 1080p if you ever decide to make the jump.

That "idiot" was right. You'll always find people that'll help, but you'll find even more if you at least gave it a shot and failed.

Name calling will not make people eager to help you either.

I myself have a 65" 1080p, but I have been helping my parents with choosing a new LCD. It just so happens that the size that fits their needs is the 32" variety. My pops had many of the same questions and while looking we found that many of the panels are starting to have 1080p versions for a few hundred more. We looked at them side by side and he decided that he liked the Samsung 1080p better. The 1080p LCD will upconvert the Directv HD and when the move to Blu comes, they will be set.

[Terra4Gary]

My 2 cents.

First: I have a Sony Bravia 46", fully capable of processing input at 1080P. The picture is stunning, but after reading this thread, I decided to drop the input resolution down to 1080i (also using my PS3 as Blu-ray device) during a couple of movies. Honestly, I imagine that 1080P is better, I really couldn't see much difference.

Second: I have always supported any (new) thread that helps all members. These duplicate thread disapears after only a few days, and in no way deserves critscism. However; there are many threads available on almost every topic.

+100

Careful, or you'll be labeled an "idiot" like he did to another reply in his identical thread posted off-topic in the movies forum.

I personally don't understand why anyone would post a helpful response to someone who fully admits he's too lazy to search (any one of the hundreds of threads on this topic) for the information first.
