what do you guys think, would you say this is a correct statement or not? I am trying to understand this 1080i vs 1080p (hddvd, blu-ray stuff)
North american tv's display images at 60hz which means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. All current movies, and television broadcasts are shot at 24 frames per second, so that means there's 36 frames per second that have to come from somewhere, so the TV or DVD player double the first image, triple the 2nd image and double the 3rd image to come up with 60 required frames per second. so that means you're basiclly seeing the exact same picture at least 2 times (3 times on the odd scans) meaning that a 1080i signal from one of those two sources is capable of displaying the exact same information as a 1080p signal. It's a limitation of the recorded source, not the hardware. That's why there is no difference between 1080p and 1080i when watching movies or hdtv on a 1080i set
