Forums - Gaming - 720P or 1080i

*Sound Of Rain on 11 May 2014

I've read so many different opinions on this and can't seem to find an answer. 

Which is better for shows? Games? Specifically, Wii U?

1080p

anyway 720 or 1080 does not matter. The important is 60fps

I would obviously set it to 1080P but I don't have that as an option.

Some say the frames don't even drop with 1080i. Is this at all true. I'm not an expert and don't know who to trust.

intrelaced can be very annoing in moving scenes if there is no correcting techniques.
id choose 720p

I need a confirmation too!



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

I think 1080p makes a difference but it just might be my TV

My Tv doesn't support 1080P though Jizz. 

I have to pick between 1080i or 720P

720p:  "the entire image (720 lines or pixel rows) is sent every 60th of a second (or twice every 30th of a second)."

1080i:  "1080i, since it is interlaced, only sends 540 lines (or half the detail) every 60th of a second, with all the detail sent every 30th of a second. On the surface, 1080i produces more detail than 720p, but since the increased detail is only sent every 1/30th of a second, rather than 1/60 of a second, fast moving objects, will exhibit slight interlacing artifacts - which can appear to look like jagged edges or a very slight blurred effect."

720P then? Can the naked eye actually notice the blurred effect since it's only every 30th of a second?
