I downloaded quite a few 1080i clips and tested them on a 1920 X 1200 24" display. I used VLC Media Player, which allows several options for de-interlacing, such as bob and weave. Some gave horrible results, but the perfect option was 'mean'. That produced a great, smooth video which looked similar to 1080p videos I have seen.
I am no expert, but I don't really think there's any difference between 1080i and 1080p.
