Actually, something Daddosplat said got me curious about 480i and 480p. When a TV is displaying 480i, what is 30FPS equivalent to? Is that running at 60 fields per second? And when a game is displaying 480p at 30FPS, well that's obvious but that's not equivalent to displaying 480i at 60FPS, is it? The progressive scan eliminates flickering and makes it look better but something running in 480p/30FPS is not equivalent to 480i/60FPS? I'm not sure. I'm not sure why he brought up progressive scan seeing as it had nothing to do with anything.
