1080p and 1080i - i letter of the alphabet, big argument

When is Hd not HD? Information technology's a question that is causing huge discussion after a controversial Sony blog talked well-nigh 1080i back up for 'nearly Hard disk drive' sets.

Currently, to qualify as HD in the UK, sets must be 720p or 1080i, with so-called Full HD or True Hard disk drive sets having 1080p.

So when Burnout Paradise designer Simon Phipps wrote on the Sony blog: "Plus heaps more, including: 1080i support for PlayStation iii owners with "near HD" sets", information technology sparked something of a reaction.

"Really appreciate the 1080i support, but calling 1080i TVs "nearly HD" is a real dumb motion- just because you don't similar information technology doesn't make it a real HD res. My 1080i CRT tv volition blow the doors off 75% of the LCDs out there in the picture quality section," posted ane commentator.

"That said, the HDTV specification is 1080i or 720p — BOTH are full high definition, By DEFINITION. Neither is "non quite HD". I dear my 1080i CRT HDTV compared to almost every 720p LCD screen I've always seen and anyone else who owns one can probably tell you lot the same. Do some research earlier venting next time — 1080i IS HD. Real HD. The HDness. Completely HD…" posted another.

Are we beginning to see an HD telly class war – with the Full HD oversupply smugly grinning at the poor old HD Ready lot?

It's certainly prompted a bit of a debate.
