"There is no picture quality difference between 1080i and 1080p, it just sends half the data to the screen twice as quickly - The display shows exactly the same picture. Remember that all HD TV's only show a PROGRESSIVE Display (except maybe a couple of CRT Projectors)."
If that's so, why are the movies mastered in 1080p and not 1080i? Why does a 720p picture look better than a 1080i picture when it comes to HD sporting events?
