Difference between 1080p and 1080i on PS3?

May be...

tell me the pros and cons BE SPECIFIC

1080p is a better picture than 1080i. "p" stands for progressive, while "i" stands for interlaced. When a picture is in progressive mode, it refreshes all of the lines at the same time, when it is in interlace mode, it refreshes half of the lines first, then the other half of the lines second, then starts over again.



It is a picture setting, so it is hard to say the pros and cons. It's more about what you like. 1080i is better than 720p (detail wise) because there are more lines, but the lines still only refresh half as fast. Some people can't tell the difference between the two pictures, unless you have a large television, then it becomes noticeable. Some people even think that 720p is better than 1080i because the progressive picture is refreshing all of the time. This is noticeable in sports or action films where the picture moves fast. On an "interlaced" picture, the picture actually blurs a little bit because of the lines only refreshing half of the time, again, noticeable on bigger TVs a whole lot more than smaller TVs.



There is actually a better picture than 1080p, but that is in video equipment that is well over $10,000.

To keep it short



1080p is full HD therfore it will have a better picture quality than 1080i.
