In the United States, there are two standard resolutions for cable TV broadcasts: 720p and 1080i. Much like 1080p, the number refers to the vertical resolution of the screen, 720 and 1080 pixels. The letter refers to either progressive scan or interlaced scan. Every TV sold today uses progressive scan, but they're also compatible with a 1080i signal.
In the end, 1080i and 720p end up using about the same amount of bandwidth, even if 1080i covers over twice as many pixels. This means that still images look sharper on 1080i, but it isn't perfect. As you can see in the pictures above with the Samsung Q9F, 720p looks much clearer with motion. This is why sports channels use 720p since fast-moving content may not look smooth with 1080i signals.

Initially the existing 5:3 aspect ratio had been the main candidate but, due to the influence of widescreen cinema, the aspect ratio 16:9 (1.78) eventually emerged as being a reasonable compromise between 5:3 (1.67) and the common 1.85 widescreen cinema format. An aspect ratio of 16:9 was duly agreed upon at the first meeting of the IWP11/6 working party at the BBC's Research and Development establishment in Kingswood Warren. The resulting ITU-R Recommendation ITU-R BT.709-2 ("Rec. 709") includes the 16:9 aspect ratio, a specified colorimetry, and the scan modes 1080i (1,080 actively interlaced lines of resolution) and 1080p (1,080 progressively scanned lines). The British Freeview HD trials used MBAFF, which contains both progressive and interlaced content in the same encoding.[citation needed]
It also includes the alternative 14401152 HDMAC scan format. (According to some reports, a mooted 750-line (720p) format (720 progressively scanned lines) was viewed by some at the ITU as an enhanced television format rather than a true HDTV format,[33] and so was not included, although 19201080i and 1280720p systems for a range of frame and field rates were defined by several US SMPTE standards.)[citation needed]
For example, 19201080p25 identifies progressive scanning format with 25 frames per second, each frame being 1,920 pixels wide and 1,080 pixels high. The 1080i25 or 1080i50 notation identifies interlaced scanning format with 25 frames (50 fields) per second, each frame being 1,920 pixels wide and 1,080 pixels high. The 1080i30 or 1080i60 notation identifies interlaced scanning format with 30 frames (60 fields) per second, each frame being 1,920 pixels wide and 1,080 pixels high. The 720p60 notation identifies progressive scanning format with 60 frames per second, each frame being 720 pixels high; 1,280 pixels horizontally are implied.[citation needed]
Non-cinematic HDTV video recordings intended for broadcast are typically recorded either in 720p or 1080i format as determined by the broadcaster. 720p is commonly used for Internet distribution of high-definition video, because most computer monitors operate in progressive-scan mode. 720p also imposes less strenuous storage and decoding requirements compared to both 1080i and 1080p. 1080p/24, 1080i/30, 1080i/25, and 720p/30 is most often used on Blu-ray Disc.
The format of high definition images is characterized by a resolution 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high. HD resolution can be achieved via two different methods: interlaced (1080i) or progressive (1080p). Although both display methods have the same resolution, they each have advantages and disadvantages, resulting in unequal image quality. Which of these two HD resolutions should you choose? Here is how they work in detail.
Like the 1080i format, 1080p features a resolution 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high. It works differently, however, displaying the whole image at once. Each displayed image field therefore corresponds to an entire image. Progressive display is currently used by all modern computer screens and televisions, whether they are LED TVs, UHD 4K TVs, OLED TVs, UHD 8K TVs, etc.
Before tackling the differences between 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p -- which in basic terms refer to the width of the image -- it is worthwhile to know that the "i" suffix stands for "interlaced" and the "p" suffix stands for "progressive".
SDTV -- which basically is the same as analog television, but transmitted digitally so that there is no signal loss regardless of distance -- is offered in 480i, EDTV is offered in 480p, and HDTV is offered in 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. There are differences in aspect ratios (4:3 or 16:9) -- the ratio between the width and height of the display -- as well.

Both the original Apple TV and black 2nd Gen Apple TV support 720p as its maximum standard, whereas the 3rd Gen Apple TV, also black, supports 1080p. The newerApple TV 4K and Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) support the even higher-resolution "4K" standard (2160p).
SD resolution is standard quality resolution. The resolution often refers to a pixel height of 480 in a single image. The frame is more detailed than that of a 360p, 240p, or 144p image , but less detailed than one that is 720p or 1080p.
Technically, the resolution is the same for both 1080p and 1080i (both displaying 1920x1080 pixels on the screen). The difference is the "p" and "i". The "p" is for "progressive" scan meaning each picture is painted top to bottom in one scan. The "i" stands for "interlaced" scan; these pictures are painted sequentially which means that odd numbered lines are painted first then even numbered lines second, making this a two step process.
Progressive scan is preferred because its one step process (able to paint the picture quicker than interlaced) produces smoother motion, particularly for fast paced action such as sports (OK, just the ones that make you sweat). Because of its longer processing time, interlaced scans can lag behind the data its receiving and cause the picture to appear blurry. High definition television broadcasts are in 1080i or 720p (progressive scan of 1280x720 pixels). The company will usually broadcast fast paced sports in 720p and slower content in 1080i. If you thought you've noticed a difference between sports and a sitcom, you could be right. They may have been broadcast in different resolutions.
In reality, 1080p stands alone. 1080i is more comparable to 720p. Manufacturers market their products as 1080i/720p (notice the "slash"). This means that the TV is "capable" of receiving 1080i signals but converts it to 720p, so try not to fall for this gimmick.

I was able to set the resolution on the ROKU to 720p by hooking it up to my newer smart tv. I then went and connected to my old hdtv. With most attempts the old tv didn't even recognize the ROKU input (thur hdmi cable). But on a few occasions my old tv did connect to the ROKU and my hopes were raised high, success finally, I thought.
No Roku player supports 1080i, which is usually where the problem occurs with older sets. The handshake they offer misidentifies the set as 1080, so Roku sends a 1080p (progressive) signal. But the TV will only accept a 1080i (interlaced) signal, so you get that error. Unfortunately, there's little that can be done with TVs that misidentify themselves.
I was finally able to get my in-laws TV working with an HDMI to Component Converter that also has a scaler. They have an ancient Mitsubishi Rear Projection HDTV that has no HDMI ports and only supports either 480p or 1080i and no 720p all. Make sure the converter/scaler device you get supports 1080i, some don't. I finally got it working on the third product. The scaler is critical too because it's the only way to force a specific resolution. The brand of the converter is EASYCEL and it was $45.
There's no such device with today's media streaming products. HDTVs that don't support either 720p or 1080p have vanished from the market. It's next to impossible to even find Blu Ray players with analog outputs anymore. DVD players are about it, and even some of them use HDMI as well. They've all moved to HDMI for the simplified connection.
Until 2010, 16:10 was the most popular aspect ratio for widescreen computer displays. But with the rise in popularity of high definition televisions, which were using high definition resolutions such as 720p and 1080p and made this terms synonyms with high-definition, 16:9 has become the high-definition standard aspect ratio.Today, finding 16:10 displays is almost impossible.
I connected my new Samsung 1080p hdtv to the U-verse wireless box and when I turn it on it displays 720p. Also, the picture does not fill up the screen. I have to change the picture size on the TV itself in order to do that. I have the exact same TV in another room. It is the main TV and it displays 1080p with a good picture. Is there something wrong with the new TV or do I need to reset something on the wireless box? If so, how? (I connected the component wires exactly the same as they are on the primary TV.)
The U-verse receiver doesn't support 1080p, if you have set your TV output to 1080p and the receiver to 720p or 1080i there will be a mismatch between the TV and receiver Output, which will lead to a poor picture quality. You can set the output to 1080i or 720p on both TV and receiver for the best results.

Most boxes will also ask for an output resolution setting. Choices will include 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. With 1080p TVs (most current models), this control should be set to 1080i (some cable/satellite boxes also allow 1080p output, but it only applies to pay per view movies). 2ff7e9595c
