Is There A Huge Difference Between 1080i And 1080p High Definition Resolutions?
Got my TV a little over a year ago and it does not support 1080p, only 720p and 1080i. Did I make a mistake or is the difference negligable in all cases?

Probably not on anything smaller than 45″, but remember only HD DVD and Blue Ray are broadcast in 1080p so unless you have one of those you’re not losing anything. Even HD Channels only go as high as 1080i and most are 720p.

The difference at a distance of 6 feet is to most almost trivial, the difference between progressive and interlaced output is how the screen is scanned, progressive is slightly nicer because it eliminates screen scalines that are common with interlaced modes usually the refresh rate keeps you from notice the difference but for some this is noticeable. Depends on how critical you are on yoru video quality.
