480i  :(

 

I don't get why you'd ask about 1080p vs 1080i.  A better poll would be 720p, 1080p or even those 2 along with 480i.  1080i isn't that popular.  

  I think the majority of 1080i tv's also do 720p/480p.  Btw, if you have craigslist where you live you need to go shopping.

720p does 1080i.  Not the other way around.

1080i is interlaced, it does 2 540p images.  it does one 540p image in 1/60 of a second.  While 720p does one 720p image in 1/60 of a second.  720p is actually better than 1080i.  

1080i is dead though.

1080p - brings 654 results.  

Well.. laughably, the pointof this little exercise was to see if the majority had upgraded to 1080p or if they mistankenly thought their old 1080i set was 1080p.  I know 720p is better than 1080i but thanks for the details.  There's a lot I wasn't aware of.  For someone who knows so much why don't you own a widescreen?  But yeah, I actually thought ppl didn't upgrade tv's all that often.  I'e never been so wrong lol
