Sorry for the wall of text above.

But the difference between 720p and 1080i is difficult to explain in just a few lines. I already tried that and apparently failed.

 

Actually, that was a very informative wall of text.

You are right about 1080i being created for CRT HD displays, but then used for over-the-air after the fact.  I didn't state that correctly when I said it was created for over-the-air HD.

I still contend that 1080i looks better than 720p on modern HD TVs (not CRT based HD TVs), however.
