That wasn't the question of the topic though was it. Hence you coming along and saying 720p and 1080p should be compared made no sense what so ever when that wasn't the question he was asking. You can compare anything you want, granted, but why would you do it in a thread that wasn't asking for it.

Because its a discussion forum, your allowed to discuss things, even if it wasn't stated, a question always leads to discussion.



Yes, a discussion. The discussion was about 1080i v 1080p, not 720p v 1080i/1080p. No one mentioned 720p until you said we should compare 720p to 1080p.

Have you finially relised how wrong it was?

No, I acknowledge the differences between the two, but I can just tell that you're here only to be a nuisance, so why bother wasting my time.



You said - "1080p is technically a higher resolution than 1080i."

No it's not. What you said is not true. They both have the same resolution. 1080p is 1920 x 1080 and 1080i is 1920 x 1080. So how can 1080p be a higher resolution than 1080i when they both have the same resolution. Regardless if you think I'm being a nuisance or not, what you said is 100% wrong.

[QUOTE="rastan"]1080i is interlaced and for most tv's sold today, shouldn't be used as the TV will either have to convert it to its native 720p or 1080p display format which can introduce artifacts. While Shawty is correct that a still 1080i image and a still 1080p image should look identical, in motion they are not. In fact for fast motion 720p is often preferred to 1080i and this is why ESPN chose 720p as it's HD resolution vs 1080i.GTR12

There you go shawty, thats why those 2 should be compared.

Effectively, It might as well be. No need to be pedantic.

Erm, no, effectively it's not. 1080i and 1080p both have a resolution of 1920 x 1080. So how can 1080p have a higher resolution than 1080i when they are the same resolution. Think about it.

1080p is technically a higher resolution than 1080i.

Blade8Aus



Erm, no it's not. They are both 1920 x 1080 resolution. And don't bother coming back with the nonsense that 1080i is only half the frames or whatever it is. The resolution is still 1920 x 1080 and has to be to fill the screen.

Effectively, It might as well be. No need to be pedantic.

720p and 1080i are totally different. The question was which is better, 1080i or 1080p. So why should you be comparing 720p and 1080i when that wasn't his question.

GTR12

I was stating that those 2 SHOULD be compared, I don't know any single person who compares 1080i and 1080p and would even say 1080i is better.



But why, what logical reason. It wasn't his question.

[QUOTE="GTR12"]

You should be comparing 720p and 1080i on a HDTV, not 1080i vs 1080p.

GTR12



No you shouldn't.

While I agree, 1080p is better for moving images (all though I've never had a a problem with 1080i material through a 1080p TV/Monitor) 1080p and 1080i are near enough the same thing, they are both 1920 x 1080 resolution, just one is delivered in a different way. As already stated, if you have two still images, 1080i and 1080p should look identical. Why would 720p which has a resolution of 1280 x 720 be better than 1080iwhich has a resolution of 1920 x 1080?

Are you mistaken that 720p TV's that 'can do' 1080i also, which then shows up that 1080i looks the same as 720p? Because 72op TV's that can also 'do' 1080i, don't actually do 1080i. Any TV with a resolution below 1920 x 1080 can not do 1080i/p as it simply does not have enough pixels to fit on the screen. A 720p TV simply downscales the 1080i/p image to 720p. This is why a lot of people get confussed when they see 720p/1080i TV's and they simply add 1+1 and think that 1080i looks the same as 720p.

Dont even get what you mean, but ill ask you this, If you had a old CRT HDTV, which is capable of both (Sony Wega 46" from 2000), what would you set it to watch movies, general TV and games on consoles?

Thats why they should be compared, I didnt mention the new 720p/1080i stickered sets.



There isn't a set that can do both, that is impossible. It's either 720p, which is 1280 x 720 or 1080i/p which is 1920 x 1080. It can't be both. 720p sets do not and never will have enough pixels to display 1080i/p material. 1080i/p sets will upscale a 720p image to fit the screen. The Sony Wega which you are talking about must be a 1080i set which will display 1080i material. As far as I'm aware, these didn't upscale 720p to 1080i. If you had 720p material, it didn't display, or this was certainly the case for the PS3, there was a lot of debate over the issue of the release of the PS3.

720p and 1080i are totally different. The question was which is better, 1080i or 1080p. So why should you be comparing 720p and 1080i when that wasn't his question.

To make things more simple. TV's years ago could do 1080i. TV's today can't do 1080i, it's either 720p (or 768p)or 1080p. TV's that state they do 720p/1080i are only ever capable of displaying 720p. They don't have enough pixels to display 1080i material. 1080i and 1080p are the same thing, just delivered to the screen differently.
