HDTV EYE CANDY! Which wins? 1080i vs 720p. And what about 1080p?

The latest great thing in home theater displays is the emergence of 1080p resolution displays.
p stands for progressive, which means the screen fills all at once at 1/60th of a second, versus i for interlaced, which means every other line, then the other half of the full picture, each field displaying at 1/30th of a second.


At this time, there is no source for broadcast 1080p programming.

That's a crude example of interlaced.

When you bring the hands together, you combine both fields and you get the whole picture (one frame).
It happens fast enough that you don't notice the effect unless there's motion on the screen, then you might see a difference in the smoothness of the motion.
Progressive is all the...
