Is there any big different between 1080i and 1080p resolutions ?

I have 32" Sharp LCD TV and i can only use 1080i resolution with my X360 ....Does games look better on 1080p ..... And what about PS3..

1080p is for TV's over 40", anything less and you need to be using 720p. 1080i is interlaced and you dont want thatdoobie1975

When you say 1080p for TV's are over 40", does that include 40" screen HDTVs?

I just bought a new Sony Bravia 40" 1080p LCD HDTV + 5.1 Surround Sound + PS3 40GB combo package with DMC4 and Folklore : did I make the right decision in choosing a 1080p 40" HDTV? (my basement is too small to fit anything beyond 46" against a wall without hogging space. And large 40"+ screens while remaining at 1080p and with good contrast ratios and refresh rates start jacking up in prices... I find 40-42" to be the sweet spot for me).

yes there is, and a lot actually, its twice the details...

and it has nothing to do with the screen size, more is more and less is less. olthough with a smaller screen size, smaller resolutions are acceptable while those same resolutions will look more and more horrible the larger the screen goes.

so for a 32" 720p will look great but still 1080p will be much better. for a 42" 720p will be very acceptable and the farther you sitt from the screen the better the picture will look to your eyes, and with a 1080p you can sit closer to the 42" without noticing the "pixels"... wich is the best thing that could happen to you...

if you had ever an experience with a PC you should know that. the higher the resolution the better... unfortunatly guys who just play on consoles really have no idea...

You should go to a audio video site and ask or do a search. Your going to get way too much misinformaiton in system wars.EmperorSupreme

i agree, some guys are talking nonsense here...

1080i is at 30fps while 1080p is at 60 they are both at 1920x1080deadmeat59

This guy speaks the truth. Digital TV's are not capable of displaying an interlaced frame so they combine them which halves the refresh rate. With games your getting the same detail as 1080p with more flicker. This is because the frame is upscaled to 1080p first and then converted to 1080i. If you have a analog TV it stays at 1080i and if not its de interlaced.

anything below 40" should only be set at 720p.....since you wont see the difference between 720p and 1080p on such a small screenDante2710

Yes you can tell the difference. My old 19 inch CRT looked much better at 2048x1536 then 1280x1024. A higher res is always better so if you have the option you should useit.

I dunno I see a big difference. If your using 1080p on a big TV your probably getting ther same picture quality as a smaller TV. However 1080p on a smaller TV has a much clearer crisper pitcue.

brief, the higher the resolution the closer you can sit to your tv without noticing the "PIXELS" wich is very good...
