Typically 720p/1080i tvs are more or less the same. It is pretty rare these days to have a tv that doesn't do both those resolutions. Especially since that is the resolution that HDTV currently broadcasts in.
However, 1080p is a tier above. So you won't be able to have 1080p displayed on your TV. I don't think there are any 1080p games available, and unless your TV is is fairly large, or you sit unusually close, you won't notice that BR isn't showing in 1080p.
The highest number you have followed by a "p" is the highest you'll want to watch.
The whole 1080i is more of a trick by the companies trying to ride on the 1080p's coattails. Yeah it'll go that high but it'll be interlaced so the superior watching experience will be the 720 in progressive scan.
If you can wait I'd suggest saving up a little more money for the 1080p if you're worried about trying to somewhat future proof your purchase.
I feel like im the only person that has a 720p tv that supports 1080p, lol. The box said it only goes to 720p/1080i, but 1080p displays on my ps3's xmb and games :D. It's a 32" Vizio.

mine does the same. it'll show that it's a 1080p signal, but more than likely, it's down scaling to one of the resolutions that the TV supports

Maybe the fact that its smaller than 42" just opens up compatability of 1080p.
All HDTVs have a native resolution. If you have an HDTV that only accepts 720p/1080i, than one of those two are its native resolution. If it recieves any other signal, it converts it to that native resolution.
So, asking if there is a 720p HDTV that upscales to 1080i makes no sense. If you have a 720p HDTV, than it would down convert 1080i to display it. If you have a 720p HDTV, just send a 720p signal to the TV. Doing anything else is just unnecessary conversion that will slightly degrade the image.

I was just wondering how long I would have to read until someone stated facts and not BS here - thanks b11. CJL - you were also correct, but b11 had more info :)
For original poster - what size tv? Under like 40-inch if not larger 1080p won't have any effect. You are better off getting a good 720p tv than a crappy 1080p tv. There are other things that will determine the quality of your picture. Of course a good 1080p tv is the best, but there are plenty of posters here that don't have that...
my 26' Insignia T.V. in my room is native 720p, but it upscales to 1080p and 1080i. so yes some can.T3h_M3tal_Biggz
No it doesn't. Why would a 720p native HDTV upscale anything to a 1080 resolution??? An HDTV can only display a signal in it's native resolution. If your 720p HDTV upscales something to a 1080 resolution, it would then have to downscale it back to 720p to display it.
Your 720p native HDTV takes all incoming signals and converts it to 720p. It converts it to nothing else.
[QUOTE="bigburd"]speaking of 1080p games, besides ninja gaiden sigma what game have a native resolution of 1080p?cebcubs1
I don't know if it's native (I'm ignorant about all the technical terms and meanings), but MGS4 automatically plays at 1080P on my tv.
Native means that that's the actual resolution being outputted, as opposed to taking a lower resolution and upscaling (stretching to fit the available pixels) it. And no, MGS4 is not 1080p native.
so that means if i am watching a show and i have a 720p television i can always upscale it to 1080i since it supports 1080inarutotheboss20
No it means that it accepts the 1080i signal and DOWNCONVERTS to your native resolution of 720p. If the tv wasn't supportive of 1080p it would show something like a completely black picture...
The highest number you have followed by a "p" is the highest you'll want to watch.
The whole 1080i is more of a trick by the companies trying to ride on the 1080p's coattails. Yeah it'll go that high but it'll be interlaced so the superior watching experience will be the 720 in progressive scan.

How is 1080i riding on 1080p's coattails when 1080i has been available for far longer? I'm not being snarky...I'm genuinely curious.

Yes, this. If the native resolution is 720p the television will accept the 1080i signal and downconvert it to the maximum resolution that the television can display. It will convert the 1080i signal to 720p, and the quality of the TV determines how well the downconversion works. On some progressive scan TV's the downconversion of the 1080i signal will cause ghosting during action shots. Also, those little notices about the resolution that the TV displays are typically the input signal, not the output resolution. Although many people get them confused.

yes, these guys have it right. youre not actually seeing the extra pixels from 1080i. The reason 720p tvs accept 1080i is because some HD channels output at 1080i. This allows people with only a 720p TV to see that content.
720p should supports 1080i, but not 1080p. 1080p is the highest resolution. But if you have to choose between 1080i/720p for gaming purposes, go with 720p.

it would be pointless since your TV will just scale it back to 720p before displaying it again. If a TV is 720p, that means it is it's native resolution. Even if it supports the other resolutions, the TV has to scale the signal to the native resolution before displaying it.
