Im not saying that 720p is better than 1080p...im saying that 720p is better than 1080i.
I am also not talking about picture size, but picture quality...a 720p picture has 720 pixels in the picture at any given time...and a 1080i picture has 540 pixels on the screen at any given time...interlaced video is old technology retrofitted to HDtvs so that companies could sell more tvs and cable broadcasts, since 1080i sounds better than 720p...it is all marketing.
Here is a video explaining this point
why ESPN prefers 720p over 1080i

also, deinterlacing adds a tiny bit of blur to the interlaced lines so that the interlacing artifacts are less noticeable...and I would think the whole point of HD videos is not to have blur in any amount...When I watch 1080p or 720p I dont do any interlacing of anykind, and the picture quality is amazing...that's just my 2 cents, I won't hijack the thread anymore...Im trying to help users have the best experience they can, that's all
