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.

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.

What are the compatibilities of a Blu-ray disc playing on a Blu-ray player set to play in 1080i on a 1080i HDTV?

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.
