I have samsung 32" LCD HDTV LNS3251D. (i bought it 1100 dollar, new and it's already with tax).
It supports 480 - 720p and 1080i.
My Question:
Am i getting a good deal?
Is there a big difference between 1080i and 1080p?
What are the differences?
Is it noticeable?
Is it gonna matter for 32" tv?
When i have option, should i make my tv settings to 1080i or 720p
instead?
sorry for too many questions..
I am a newbie for HDTV.
Thanks so much guys.

Yeah it's not a bad deal. It's a great TV spec wise and a great all around TV.
Your second question is one that I field everyday, and usually when I show my Clients a Blu-ray Demo (which is 1080P) they are pretty much blown away by the clarity and detail. If you're familiar with what pixels are-- 1080i has about 900,000 pixels as with 1080P boasts 2,000,000 pixels. looking at 1080P compared to a 1080i or 720P image is like night and day. Also, the smallest you're going to find a 1080p set is 37" inches, because anything smaller than that, you just won't see a difference. Experts say that you really won't see a huge difference unless you're watching a TV over 55". I see incredible pictures on TV's that are 40" that have 1080P. For your last question, usually you want progressive scan, especially in a TV in that size. Leave it on 720p, but if you want, toggle the resolution and see which one your eye likes better. I hope this answers your questions. Take Care!

there is a difference between the 1080i and p but unless you get blu-ray or hd-dvd it doesn't matter. Just hooking up a upconverting dvd player via hdmi will give you excellent picture in 1080i. Sure beats 720i or p. Save your money until they figure which way they want to go, blu-ray or hd-dvd. $1000 buck for a player you don't know if it's going to be obsolete like the betamax.
Our local video/audio store was having an after chrismas sale and noticed in the ad for a LG 42" lcd hd for $899 (2006 model). Just have to be at right place at the right time.
