To clarify people, there is no such thing as a 1080i television, it's either a 720p that supports 1080i, or it's a 1080p, but 1080i is only used in signals.
Incase anyone doesn't know the difference between p (progressive scan) and i (interlaced) is that p gives you a constant image, with every frame the whole image is updated, with interlaced 1 frame updates line 1, 3, 5 etc (the uneven lines), while the next frame does 2, 4, 6 etc, this is also why broadcasts are done in different ways, 1080i for example would be bad for sports because the camera movement is so fast that the screen would look weird if it doesn't updated the whole screen at once.
Anyway I got a Tatung V32EMRO, basically a 32inch 720p, few years old now. I'm planning to buy a new computer screen soon and hook up my desktop again for various purposes (it's a old PC, Athlon 2500+, Geforce 6800GT etc) and I want a proper screen for it (my current monitor is a 17 inch CRT, hence why I only use my laptop), I will either get a 1080p 24inch monitor or a 1920x1200 24 inch, the first costs 185 euro whereas the second costs 240 euro, it really depends if the cheaper will keep original sizes and not stretch everything (4:3 games look absolute crap then), I know the 240 euro costing monitor doesn't do that.
