kn said: Actually, this thread, as with the other, is filled with complete misinformation. Interlace "flicker" is a function of CRT displays, NOT LCD or Plasma. Why do people who know nothing about the technology feel compelled to give advice when it is so wrong? As to your original question: For Movies: 1080i = 1080p. Movies are encoded at 24FPS. No difference as long as your set de-interlaces properly. For ESPN HD: 720P is probably going to look better but it is going to depend on the broadcast source. Some say 1080i looks better "over the air". I don't think you will see much difference if the broadcast is a quality feed. And finally, for games : For every game that is 60fps, 720P will rock. It will keep up with the fast moving objects. |
If it automatically deinterlaces then what is the penalty? It obviously doesn't magically turn into 1080p. Does it turn into 1080p with half the framerate?
I appreciate that you are trying to correct misinformation, but you mostly seem to be saying that the previous explanation is wrong without offering the correct one (although you do explain which one of 1080i/720p is better in your opinion and why).

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
