1080i is a term related to high-definition televisions. The 'i' in 1080i stands for 'interlaced', meaning the TV draws lines and interlaces them to show the whole picture. The '1080' in 1080i means there are 1080 lines of resolution.
the "I" is for INTERLACE, the other method is "P" which stands for PROGRESSIVE and is best.
I have a laptop with a screen resolution of 1366x768 and i was told it was a 1080i resolution I'm not entirely sure
you can't do that. 1080i games can be played with a hdmi cable or else it will be at 720p
Most modern LCD/Plasma TV's are capable of receiving and displaying 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals. Therefore your TV, if it can receive 1080i, should be quite happy with a 1080p signal.
No, only 1080i. 1080p is currently only found on local video sources such as games consoles and computer displays. Broadcasters are currently using only 1080i and 720p as their HD formats.
The signal is 1080i
YES.
Yes.
Put it in and try it. The worse it'll do is not work.
Yes.
The best quality pictures come from 1080P
One with 1080p and 1080i compatability
yes but can you play 1080 i through component on newer discs? supposedly im reading with the upconverters and newer discs you cant to prevent pirating its only possible on dvi and hdmi. The compatibilities are that blu ray disc basically will play in a blu ray player in 1080i on a 1080i hdtv !, I figured out today that, that is the answer to this question because I own a blu ray player set to play 1080i blu ray discs and I baught pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 and 3 on blu ray today and saw all of them and they all work on a 1080i hdtv with a blu ray player set to play in 1080i instead of 1080p because I don't have the newer version of the sony bravia hdtv which is the 1080p, what I have is a sony bravia 1080i hdtv!. I hope this answer helps other people out who where in my same situation! with hdtv and blu ray player hooked up together.
