720p is better then 1080i on games, but 1080p looks freakin sweet on a tv 46inch or bigger, anything smaller and you wont really notice much of a difference.
1080i will be fine, people take this resolution too much to heart its not really the most important part to having our game look good, if your tv has a good contrast ratio and quick response time i hear like 8ms is good then you should be good
Currently 1080i is only good if your tv supports 720p as well. There have been a ton of good games that were released with 720p support but not 1080i. If you dont have 720p support these games get downscaled to a lousy 480p. There are a ton of people including myself that are angry about this problem. Sony hasn't even acknowledged it to the public.
So basically if you have a 480p/1080i tv, expect to play the majority of the current games in the same resolution as a Wii/PS2/Xbox.... 480p.
Well since the topic creator mentioned that he has an LCD TV this means he is more than likely dealing with a 720p resolution, so his question has been answered. Don't even worry about 1080i.
Exactly, it's not such a big deal. Since i don't have a game that supports more than 720p (Resistance) i can't say anything about the PS3, but i play Gears on my Xbox in 1080i, and it's very nice. I swapped between 720p and 1080i (on a 42" plasma), and honestly, i couldn't see any difference, I think you'll have to go 50" plus to notice anything
