However, the two drawbacks to 1080i are:
1. It takes up the most bandwidth of all the DTV broadcast formats.
2. It is an interlaced signal, which means that the displayed image is made up of lines that are scanned alternately instead of progressively as in 480p and 720p. However, if you have the bucks, Faroudja markets a processor that will actually convert a 1080i image into a 1080p image. This essentially removes any visible scan lines present in the interlaced 1080i image, resulting in very smooth edges. The results of this conversion are truly spectacular.

Now my HD Cam shoots at 1280X720P.
Thus not interlaced.

And not interlaced on PC's looks sweet and is essentially better if ya wanna get nitty gritty about it.
