IN NEED OF HELP-Well the wife brook down and let me get a 42” LCD 1080p HDT

[paulwoll]

souxian,

1080i (interlaced) displays half of the 1080 'lines' of 1920x1080 resolution (every other 'line'), that is 540 lines in one refresh of the frame (requiring 2 refreshes to display all the information of a new frame).

So NO the resolutions are NOT the same between 1080i and 1080p
