yep enjoy the game in glorious 720p(thanks fox, you cheap bastards)
Wow, you really can see the difference between 720p and 1080i? You must have Terminator eyes or something.
Yes, there is a difference and no, you don't need "Terminator eyes" to notice; just a good display (Samsung 4671 in my case). I was flipping around between the affiliates last night for the State of the Onion address, and NBC 1080i was the best with the 720p affiliates (Fox and ABC) lagging behind. You will also find this on other sources.
@Student Driver:
I've been looking at that TV. Do you watch sports? Any blur? That's my only concern, but it seems like it is pretty nice.
You are aware that 720p is 60 frames per second, right? And that 1080i sucks for motion?
720p means 720 lines drawn every time (and usually, as pointed out, 60 times a sec. That's a lot of info). 1080i means 540 lines drawn each time. On a 1080p HDTV a 720p signal is going to look better, despite the results of your rigorously scientific analysis.
This is all based on my own rigorous scientific analysis (read: none), so I'm really only regurgitating what others have said. Hope nobody gets their panties in a wad.
Only TV with bad de-interlacers will look better with 720p then 1080i and that is because they throw away 540 of the lines, and double the remaining lines. Don't buy a TV that does this.
