Because they have the cure but they won ' t share it with us . <| sep |> Nice edit , way to own it . . . Context matters . Sidenote the edit makes your point much clearer so thanks . <| sep |> 1080 i is nowhere near what 1080 p is . even though on the surface they both have 1080 in the name . the actual video quality of 1080 i is much closer to analog 480 p than even 720 p . mostly due to interlacing artifacts , analog noise , and low color spaceid much rather have 480 p than 1080 i any day . they both offer about the same amount of image clarity , only one is carwheel . jpg 220 p x I n t erlacedvideoframecarwheel . jpg while the other is notedit watch this video boFZlnKAand you will see how 1080 i is far far more blurry than 720 p , and the introduced artifacts make motion look like total fucking garbage . better to just go with 480 p and have a real 60 hz picture with proper colors without any of the artifacts .
