1080i and 1080p have the same number of pixels. It is the manner of transmission that is different. 1080i is interlaced and has, in effect. half the vertical resolution. Oh and there was no 1080i until ...Sony introduced it as a cheap HD production format. It was not ratified by broadcasters and the EBU was dead against it but market forces won and the consumer lost. Interesting that is it now biting Sony on the bum.
