There is no difference in pixel resolution. Its not even about resolution. Its about how the image is drawn for you to see. Proper deinterlacing of 1080i is not trivial, and processing intensive, and including a proper-deinterlacing processor makes an display device quite expensive.
Alternatively, send a 1080P signal out of a source and accepting as 1080P and displaying it as 1080P is a heck of a lot easier to do. Makes no difference if this is 24fps, or 50-60Hz. As soon as you force the display device to deinterlace and temporal transcode then you are asking for a lot of processing artifacts in the end result.

Of course, Joe Six-Pack will not understand this.
