If one has a 720p projector which can output at 1080i, is it better when using regular dvd source or HDTV to watch in 1080i or use my Faroudja processor and watch in 720p, technically speaking that is.
1080i and 720p use about the same amount of data. The 720p is progressive, which means it runs the image one line at a time for 720 lines from top to bottom in one sweep. 1080i runs one/half of the image or 540 lines every-other line then comes back and runs the other half the second 540 of the image. The picture quality generally is better in 720p.
Do you mean that your 720P projector can accept 1080i input? I've never heard of a 1080i projector. All input on your 720p projector will be scaled to 720p no matter what the input resolution is.
I have to agree with Elizabeth; 1080i looks better than 720p.
