During the Major League Baseball games on Fox Sports, I kept hearing the same line in their commercials for their own HDTV presentation of the games: “Presented in 720p: the world’s finest high definition standard.” But wait—I thought 1080i 1080p were the finest standards! What’s going on here?
For those uninitiated to Hi-Def, 720p means 720 lines, progressive scan. 1080i means 1080 lines, interlaced scan. 1080 is obviously a better picture than 720, so where do they get this “world’s finest” stuff? More frames per second? Less lossy compression? Or could it be progressive scan vs. interlaced scan? If anybody has the answer, please post a comment.
