gamming.... 1080i x 1080p really diferent? Is worth?

As I stated earlier, it really depends on the native resolution of your TV.

Match the native resolution of your TV with the output of your PS3.

- If you have a true 1080i TV (which do exist, but seem to be rare) then use 1080i.
- If you have a 720p TV that takes 1080i (more common) then use 720p.

If I had to choose between the two TV types above, I would choose the 720p native TV, as then you get a full frame every time, rather than getting half a frame and your TV having to deinterlace it. Depending on the quality of the TV, the deinterlacing can be as simple as just copying the data, or as complex as comparing frames and generating new data for it. If the TV uses the simplest form of deinterlacing, then you get a higher vertical resolution with 720p than you do 1080i, however you lose out on the horizontal resolution. If 1080i is output at 60FPS, and two frames are combined, then you would really be getting a 1080p at 30FPS signal, which if you don't care about the FPS would be better. In the end, the 720p vs. 1080i debate really depends on the hardware used and the type of video being watched.

Ultimately it really comes down to which you think looks the nicest, but odds are you won't be able to notice a difference
