As Joseph states in his comment above (June 2, 2007): "I think you have that reversed. Since you just said earlier that “p” was supposedly better for fast moving objects." He's absolute right ... you have that reversed. Given that someone has pointed this out in the very first comment, why haven't you changed this in the main article? The fact that you got this totally wrong negates the whole article. If you screwed up on this point, how can we believe anything else you write? More importantly, why haven't you edited the article to correct it?

He’s absolute right … you have that reversed.

More importantly, why haven’t you edited the article to correct it?

I don't have digital cable and I don't plan on getting it either. I have a PS3 and I would like to use the HDMI cable. Would you recommend a 720p or 1080i TV? Thanks!

Pick a show, they are all different 2) P is better than I. "I" was a cheat in the 1940's to allow viewable television within the bandwidth constraints of the time. 3) Three words: Imaging Science Foundation: www.imagingscience.com. The $200-$400 to have your new HD set properly calibrated--not just leaving it the way Sparky at Costco originally set it--will blow away the differences between 1080i and 720p A couple of comments.
