This is how the lines are drawn:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

SDTV: 480i (NTSC, 720×480 split into two 240-line fields)
SDTV: 576i (PAL, 720×576 split into two 288-line fields)
EDTV: 480p (NTSC, 720×480)
HDTV: 720p (1280×720)
HDTV: 1080i (1280×1080, 1440×1080, or 1920×1080 split into two 540-line fields)
HDTV: 1080p (1920*1080 progressive scan)

1080i draws the images in sets of twos, so technically you only see 540 lines at one time. 720p draws 720 lines at all times, thus eliminating the jerkiness of having two sets giving you the advantage during motion. 1080p draws 1080 lines at all times, thus giving you the higher resolution and the elimination of jerkiness.

Your eyes won't lie to you if you just compare the picture difference on TV sets. 1080p does make a huge difference. 1080i just has a flatter picture, no if and or buts about it. 1080p can actually do the true 24 fps motion you were talking about earlier while 1080i cannot.

Ideally you want a 120hz tv. A 1080p signal on a 120hz tv is just breathtaking.

Ugh, seriously google some of this stuff Akuma. When watching movies, 1080i is visually identical to 1080p.

Your imagination may be telling you that you're looking at a better picture but reality has a different take on the situation.
