What's the Difference Between 720p and 1080i?

http://live.pirillo.com/ - What's the difference between 720p and 1080i? For that matter, what's the difference between 1080i and 1080p? Can you tell the difference? Is the higher price worth it?

If you are close enough to the screen, 1080i or 1080p is better. If you are 9 or 10 feet away from the monitor and it isn't that big, 720p will do.

@TehGKoi Don't envy - meaning that they are heavy as F--- and cumbersome, next time im carrying one off i'll just chuck it through the window lol

@TehGKoi I don't envy the day you have to carry that off to the trash. I recently did it myself with my old 32" panasonic when switching for a 42" samsung plasma
