1080i is not technically HD, and 480p is not HD

How is it not ?explain

1080 i is hd.

hd is 720p, 1080 i, 1080 p

full hd - 1080 p

progressive scan  - 480 p, 576 p 

so gt4 is hd. Didn´t know GT4 was 1080 i.

I see So the PS2 could 1080i which is HD but why didn't it do 720p, and 1080p

I don´t know the answer. Ps2 could do 480 p easily. Maybe 1080i was the limit of ps2´s power ( or a upscalling like blu ray upgrading dvd to 720 or 1080p).

quality of image 1080 p > 720 p > 1080 i.

So, ps2 could do 1080 i, but was no powerfull enough to get 720p or 1080p.
