Vizio 42-inch plasma for under a grand on Black Friday {Engadget HD}

Nov 17th 2006 6:08PM 1080i is 540p?? who the heck told you that? I work in the entertaniment industry and deal with layoffs and image conversions everyday. 1080i is 1920x1080 interlaced full HD 16x9 resolution. 1080P is simply the same but progressive (non-interlaced) 30fps and, of course , smoother like 1280x720p which many people prefer, even though 1080i TV sets remove the pulldown to play it progressive anyway...hmmm.
