What is the diffrence between 1080i and 1080p on LCD TV's?

Answer 1

You would have to look REAL HARD to see the difference between 1080i and 1080P

BOTH display 30 frames a second, but 1080i DOUBLES the fields and sends the info faster to keep the bandwidth lower.

There is a possibility of subtle misalignment IF the display is a picture tube...not LCD or DLP or Plasma (those are digital)
But even if it were....you'd have to be within an inch of the picture tube to see the misalignment.....and the misalignment would be about 5 pixels off at the most....it's more like one or two pixels off....

I don't watch TV from one inch away.....do you?

Answer 2

All LCD TVs display video in progressive format (1080p, 768p, etc.), so the difference between a 1080i and a 1080p signal depends on the content being displayed. If you're playing video games, having your console or computer output in 1080p60 will provide a smoother and sharper picture in areas of high motion.

However, if you're watching movies on a high definition disc player or a high definition channel, the difference will likely be negligible. This is because movies (and many HD shows) are recorded at 24 (progressive) frames per second. In short, a movie being fed into your TV at 1080i will be reconstructed into the exact same picture that you would get from a 1080p signal.

While it may be true that most TVs don't deinterlace perfectly, and you may (if you look really hard) notice an occasional artifact watching movies from 1080i sources, generally speaking, you will not be able to discern any substantial differences between watching movies from 1080i and 1080p sources.

Answer 3

the version is in how the demonstrate photograph is created. in a cutting-ingredient photograph (1080p), each line of selection is displayed for each physique. In an interlaced (1080i) photograph, the 1st physique will incorporate each unusual numbered line (row a million, row 3, row 5, and so forth.) and then here physique includes the even rows. So with interlaced (1080i) you get an entire photograph each 2 frames. this is a thank you to shrink bandwith even as passing the video sign; notwithstanding it reasons issues which incorporate blurring each and every time scenes incorporate quite a number of action.

Answer 4

1080p has better picture quality then 1080i, although both are amazing. it goes like this 480i 480p 720i 720p 1080i 1080p. I would buy a 1080p if you are in the market.

Answer 5

1080i is interlaced which means that every other line is drawn all the way down the screen then the intermediate lines are filled in on the next pass. This is the way current TV's work. It is easier to make the technology work smoothly but can result in slight misalignments of the two fields.
1080p is progressive scan where the whole screen is drawn from top to bottom one line after the other. Somewhat harder to do, a bit more expensive, looks better.

Answer 6

Mike is right, I gave him a thumbs up, give him the best answer.
