Whats better? 1080i or 1080 p?

its tough to tell a difference. my parents have one of each at their house and i like their p better but its a few years newer than the i.
 
1080i is equal to 720P the inly difference is I stands for interlaced meaning that each frame blends into the other where the P stands for progressive and that the TV actually scans ahead and prepares the upcoming picture before it is viewed. Is sound complicated but it isn`t really. However to answer your original question 1080P is better that 1080i even though i cant tell the difference.
 
P is better, i don't feel like explaining why, but I will tell you I do sell tv's for a living so I know what i'm talking about. if you have any questions about your TV just pm and I can give you advice, and probably improve the picture quality of your tv quite a bit.
 
LOL

1080i is a bit more compressed and interlaced, but you can hardly tell the difference.

and I am professional editor and i have a hard time telling the difference so i doubt you will notice.

1080i is much easier on your editing system without much sacrifice in quality.
 
ive heard 1080p is better, but i believe 1080i is more compatible with more video software and such
 
1080i and 1080p signals actually contain the same information. Both 1080i and 1080p represent a 1920x1080 pixel resolution (1,920 pixels across the screen by 1,080 pixels down the screen). The difference between 1080i and 1080p is in the way the signal is sent from a source component or displayed on an HDTV screen.
In 1080i each frame of video is sent or displayed in alternative fields. The fields in 1080i are composed of 540 rows of pixels or lines of pixels running from the top to the bottom of the screen, with the odd fields displayed first and the even fields displayed second.
Together, both fields create a full frame, made up of all 1,080 pixel rows or lines, every 30th of a second.In 1080p, each frame of video is sent or displayed progressively. This means that both the odd and even fields (all 1,080 pixel rows or pixel lines) that make up the full frame are displayed together. This results in a smoother looking image, with less motion artifacts and jagged edges.
In the end this means that 1080p is better during fast motion. And more flexible in the terms of framerate.
