1080p is the best output these relate to the amount of pixels that a tv can handle. the more pixels the better the image, its like when you look at a mobile phones screen some of them look crap and the others look really good its just a difference in quality. the "P" stands for progressive which gives a more natural rich colour and image and the "I" stands for interlaced. I'll keep it as simple I dont want to get too technical
1080dpi is not related to televisions that usually relates to computer software

1080 is the amount of lines which defines the resolution. The higher the number then the better trhe resolution (picture quality).
The "i" stands for interlaced which means the screen refreshes every other line at the same time. The "p" stands for progressive which means it refreshes every line at the same time. So progressive will give you a better picture based on the fact that all the lines are constantly refreshed. DPI stands for dots per inch which refers to computer printers, faxes, copiers, etc. The more dpi's the better printing quality.
