Anybody else hate 1080i and prefer 720p

so im playing tekken DR and have a good 40 inch samsung 1080i hdtv, now tekken can do 1080p I believe so im quessing my tv is displaying it in 1080i and because of the fast movement in the fighting game I can see all the lines through it when the action gets fast paced, and it's the same with car games as well anything with i at the end of it sux now I wish I had a 1080p tv , im starting to understand what sony means about true hd, because games in 1080i aint it...

1080i is higher resolution, but it is not technically better. 720p is "technically" better. But I digress.

Each television model looks different at different resolutions. My TV looks better at 720p than 1080i in my opinion, so I stick with that.

thats because the P in 720p means progressive so it draw both horizontal and vertical lines at the same time, while the I in 1080i means interlaced and only draws the horizontal lines first. so theorteically 1080i is only 540p (not really though because its not progressive) thats why 720p looks better and I always reccomend progressive over interlaced unless your playing a slow game like oblivion or other rpgs.acidBURN1942

So wait, I have a 1080i Tv. Are you telling me that I've been looking at games in 1080i and not 720p? How do I set games to run in 720p only? I got Tekken and felt the same as this guy. CyanX73

IMHO:

1080p >>>>>>>>> 720p >> 1080i.

Interlaced presentation is crap for gaming, I'm really surprised that we all put up with it for so long.

1080i is fine for documentaries on the discovery channel, but try watching a basketball game in it...

Most video game visuals are much more akin to basketball than documentaries.

yeah 1080p .. only available on ps3weiliang_1988

and the 360 my friend, and the 360

Hmm, I've been playing some racing games on my PS3 at 1080i and never noticed anything wrong. But then again, aren't a lot of the PS3 games set at 720p so they play at that resolution even you have the PS3 set for 1080i. The PS3 doesn't have an upscaler (yet) so it cannot make the games that resolution if they are not set at it.

It has an upscaler chip inside of it but it's just not activated yet,but that should change with a firmware update

yeah, i hate it when im watching sports and its in 1080i it becomes pixilated when there is a lot of movement 720p is betterFstBrk342

I think that all depends on your TV and HD source.
