Re: 720p or 1080i?

1080i seems more but if you have a lot of movement than a progressive scan is better. Progressive updates the whole screen while interlaced updates even, then odd, then even, then odd, lines. The result is that when it refreshs only half of the lines on screen are correct while the other half is behind. Normally it doesnt matter but in theory it would cause a blur.

The speed is too fast to notice in most cases so its up to you.

Also HDTVs and xbox 360 are better at progressive while the games are 720 native. So I would go for 720, its better. Also the difference between 720p and 1080p is not really much that you can see let alone 1080i
