The number 1080 itself stands for 1080 lines of vertical resolution and the term implies a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9. It is also my understand that the " i " stands for interlaced and the " p " stands for progressive. Now my question, what is the real difference in viewing of interlaced and progressive? I like most of you am new to this technology. I like to understand exactly what benefit one has over the other. Obviously the "p" is better but why?
