Most people on this forum think that 1080i looks better than 720p. I have not seen either of these resolutions but I wonder if the reason people think that is because the 720p is harder to scale to 540p than 1080i is. 540p is what most hdtv's scale everything to.
So my question to everyone is, has anyone compared native 720p (like on a plasma) to 1080i converted to 540p?
Also why in the world are ESPN and ABC promoting 720p when only a small number of tv's support it natively? It just doesn't make sense if 1080i is so much more widely supported and you can't even see the difference in 720p because it is being converted to 540p (on the ones that don't support it natively).
Thanks.
