I know what 1080i and 1080p is, but what is the difference between tv's that accept the signals and tv's that are Full HD
2007-05-22 04:56:12 · update #1
1080p stands for progressive, and as of this moment, there are very few sources that will submit a 1080p signal.
Playstation 3, and some HD-DVD's with even less HD-DVD players will support 1080p. 1080p at this point, is somewhat overkill, but that is what I just bought, just so I don't have to buy another HD-TV later.
1080i is a little bit less quality. It is generated differently.
FULL HD tv's is just a slang phrase.

1080p resolution--which equates to 1,920x1,080 pixels--is the latest HD Holy Grail. That's because 1080p monitors are theoretically capable of displaying every pixel of the highest-resolution HD broadcasts Progressive-scan formats (p) such as 480p, 720p, and 1080p convey all of the lines of resolution sequentially in a single pass, which makes for a smoother, cleaner image, especially with sports and other motion-intensive content
1080i, has an identical 1,920x1,080 resolution but conveys the images in an interlaced format (the i in 1080i). In a tube-based television, otherwise known as a CRT, 1080i sources get "painted" on the screen sequentially: the odd-numbered lines of resolution appear on your screen first, followed by the even-numbered lines--all within 1/30 of a second.
Any TV set that is capable of producing at least 1280x720 pixels of resolution is considered High Defination.
The only REALLY importance difference (not technical) is can you see the difference in the picture between the two.
Probably NOT.

1080p is considered full hd. 1080i is interaced while the p stands for progressive. progressive is better than interlaced, but only blu-ray and hd dvd are the only formats that utilize this output. hd television only goes up to 1080i. playstation 3 and x box 360 are both 1080p, so if you are a gamer, go with the progressive

1080i has twice the frame rate, but half the resolution of a 1080p.
which basicly means 1080i is better for watching something when there is alot of fast movements. 1080p is better for watching regular stuff.
1080 is considered full HD.
720 is just HD
