So..you're saying they're equivelent, because they're not.

1080i only does 540 lines a second, compared to 720 lines a second for
720p or 1080 for 1080p.

The difference between 720p and 1080i isn't going to be that noticable on
smaller screens. Larger screens, however, will show a difference as
Jordan illustrated.

This is assuming your source material is actually 1080p - and outside of
HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, there's not much that's native 1080p.
