I'm aware that the p is better than i (sorry, it's late, mind isn't working for full names), but which is better for gaming? I got a new TV because my dad found it on a megasale and he needed a TV for his TV room, and mine was perfect for it, but this one doesn't work with 1080p. Which is better for gaming?

Any one will do if it pleases your eyes. Typical resolution for 1080i is still 1920x1080. The difference between i and p is the way the screen is drawn. 1080i draws interlaced lines(every other line in 2 frames at 30 fps) where 720p and 1080p draws progressive (all at once 1 frame of lines at 60 fps). Another thing to consider is the native resolution of the tv. If it's 720p and it'll accept 1080i then send a 720p signal to it. If you send 1080i to the tv then the tv has to downscale the the picture to 720 anyway which may cause some on screen artifacts. I found this article doing a google search. I've played with my xbox with 720p, 1080i and 1080p. They all looked good to me and I didn't see any artifacts on any resolution while playing. My suggestion would be to find out the native resolution of the TV and go with that. |

The box my TV came in says it should run 1080p, but it won't work at all. So I'm a bit confused by that, but I'm gonna have to figure out what looks good.

If it says it'll take 1080p and it doesn't then you may need to return the tv. Unless is only does 1080p over HDMI which is the case for some tvs.

That may be it. But I don't see us returning the TV, since it was a $1400 model that we got for 500 because it was a floor model.
