Engadget leads you to a couple places in discussion of the 1080 format. Quick link here I'd recommend the engadegt as they branch off to other 1080 articles
Thoughts?
Full Version: 1080 article.
Yup.
1080i/60 and 1080p/30 have the same signal bandwidth. However, 1080i/60 requires deinterlacing, which is a lossy process, but in todays world it's common to find very good deinterlacing (although not in ALL tv's). 1080p/24 and 1080p/30 do not require deinterlacing, only a non-lossy pulldown process (which is basically duplicating frames in a pattern to display at a 60Hz rate)
To say they are the SAME, is wrong. 1080i/60 with "bad" hardware will look a whole lot worse than 1080p/30 with the same bad hardware.

in my humble opinion I dont think a layman would truly see the difference - given the same equipment. A videophile yes 100% but other wise nah. I was just today able to figure out 1080p on my comp ( only source i have atm) and a true 1080p video slags my comp bad, its ancient though.
Now all you have to do now is determine whether you are a layman or a videophile

Aspiring videophile, however atm - layman.

It's true that while the video is playing most people can't tell the difference. However, when you pause or slow-mo you can see it easily. Anything that has moved between one frame and the next gets extremely jaggy because every second line is moved over by whatever distance the subject moved between the frames.

makes sense. would a 1920x1200 lcd have tighter "screen door" and better for large projections then say a 1024x768 display or would the screen door effect be the same?

Yes 1080p Wuxga screens have a much tighter PPI and a lot less screendoor than a 15" 1024x768.
