Should I set my cable box to 1080i or 1080p?
For most people: 1080i If Native isn’t an option, 1080i is likely your next best choice. Most TVs are 1080p, and 1080i and 1080p are the same resolution. Pros: All 1080i channels will be output to your TV exactly as is.
Does 720p or 1080i look better?
With 720p you have the choice of a lower resolution image (worse) with progressive scan (better) – and with 1080i you have a higher resolution image (better) with interlaced scan (worse). In theory, both of these has an advantage over the other – and also a disadvantage.
What’s the difference between 1080p and 1920 x 1080?
