Interlaced & progressive. Progressive is considered to be "better" or optimal for displaying motion better. While interlaced uses less pixels per refresh or something like that. -K
what exactly is the difference between i and p?Braedon12
i=interlaced p=progressive Altough progressive is better, 1080i has more horizontal lines that make still pictures look better. Just depends on how your tv handles the image.
my tv supports both but i not really sure which one i should use when playing xbox360Braedon12
I personally use 720p, you'll get a better quality with the fact that it's progressive so use 720p unless you can use 1080p then use that for whatever games support it.
it may be just for my TV, but the difference between the two is so negligible that it really is a non-issue. When I switched between the two modes, I could see a slight change, but I couldn't tell if one was actually better than the other.
As stated before i for Interlaced and p for progressive. Interlaced means it only displays half the pixel at once, so 1080i has alot of pixel overall but only displays 540 at any given moment. Progressive displays all the pixels at once so 720p has less pixels overall but displays all of them giving it (atleast in the opinion of most gamers) a sharper image. I would try both (it what you think looks better) but suggest 720p you might not notice but it usually gives the better image.
