nice...alot of people say that there isnt much difference between 1080i and 720p but your best bet would be to find the resolution of your tv set your 360 to that setting and have a blast...

I believe 720p is better than 1080i.1080i was the original hi-def mode.

720p isn't as high of resolution but has faster frame rates than the 1080i. If you can tell a difference, kudos to you lol.

1080i, why wouldn't you, people are paying more to get that resolution and here you have it.  Its higher, newer, and looks better so use it.

yes but will it do good with faster action? Or what about a bunch of smoke grenades and gunfire going off in CoD3? Personally I can't tell a difference between 720p and 1080i detail-wise, but the progressive (p) seems much better for gaming over the interlaced (i).

Your TV (the samsung 32 inch) has a native resolution of 720p. Hope that helps man.

The major difference is the framerate here... 1080i has a higher resolution but both 1080i & 1080p Runs in 30 Fps (Frames per second), and that will give you the perfect picture for movies.. BUT not for gaming... as 720p Runs in 60 Fps which is also the framerate most games run in. The 720p (p) stands for Progressive Scan which meens the screen updates all the pixels at the same time which 1080i (i) does not.
