Re: what's the difference between 1080p and 1080i?

In a nutshell. Cost

Most of the HDTV in the market are capable of 1080i, where as 1080p make up less than 5%. HDTV broadcasts (major networks) only broadcast in 720p or 1080i. To have 1080p is like saying to every hey I bought a Lamborgihini or Bentley, while every one else has a Lexus or Mercedes.



Umm...... forgetting about BluRay or HD DVD?
In the near future one or both will be the choice of recorded content
for all those spiffy new 1080p Displays being sold.

At this time in HDTV development I wouldn't buy a display without
1080p capable input. Unless I wasn't going to keep it very long, and
most people who spend thousands of dollars on a HD Display will want
to keep them for years and years to come.
