240 HD FTW

@XboxGamerKidd Fail. It's simple math really. Even if 1080i only has 540 lines it still has a higher resolution than 720p.

1920 x 540 = 1 036 800

1280 x 720 =921 600

ironic that this is in 380

@Kalec2011 THE IRONY!

This is so fake. The real story is that they couldn't manage to use 1080i, their computers were too slow. But have you EVER looked at REAL 1880i or even 720i video (Youtube does not support it)? The smoothness is amazing! I would advise to check out a real interlaced video and/or if you have an interlaced available camera ([resolution][60 fps/Hz]), record outside your window, and then o the same thing with progressive. You will see the smoothness of Interlaced

1080i suks... U can really see the difference from 720p
