| I was about to get a new TV the has 1080p resolution, but my son noticed
that his 360 has 1080i. Would that be a problem?

| more 360games are based on 720p.
blue dragon etc. can run at 1080i but is not the default resolution (default
is 720p)
Is not a problem,and next month coming ad update of the dashboard for extend
HD XBOX360 compatibility.

No. Any set that can do 1080p can also do 1080i or 720p.
The 360 will also be getting a software upgrade (available through Xbox
Live) that will allow it to also do 1080p.
However, it remains to be seen how well the 360 will handle this.
Enjoy your new TV.

| Here's some interesting information from Wikipedia regarding the display of
1080i on a 1080p device
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p#...come_true_1080p):
"where 24 fps film-based material is concerned, a 1080i encoded/transmitted
stream can become a true "1080p" signal during playback by deinterlacing to
re-combine the split field pairs into their original progressive
film-scanned frames. Regarding 24 fps film-source material presented in
conventional 1080i60 form, the deinterlacing process that achieves this goal
is usually referred to as "3-2 pulldown reversal". The importance of this is
that, where film-based content is concerned, all 1080-interlaced signals are
potentially 1080p signals given the proper deinterlacing. As long as no
additional image-degradation steps were applied during signal mastering
(such as excessive vertical-pass filtering), the image from a properly
deinterlaced film-source 1080i signal and a native-encoded 1080p signal will
look exactly the same."
I am curious if the same can be said for a 1080i signal from an XBox 360, or
if it is only possible to deinterlace when the source material is based on
24fps and the HD signal framerate is approximately double that at 1080i60.
For example, if an XBox 360 could output at 1080i60, what would the TV do if
it deinterlaced the signal, would it try to show 120 fps? Or is this an
apples and oranges thing, and you can't compare film captured frame rates
with console generated ones?
You also might be interested to know that the 1080p TV you are looking at
might not actually be able to accept a 1080p signal. Here is an excerpt from
CNET (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449-6361600-1.html):
"Finally--and this may sound weird--but many 1080p televisions don't accept
1080p sources at all. In our experience, only the aforementioned HP can
handle 1080p via its HDMI inputs--all other current 1080p HDTVs cannot.
Instead, they upconvert 720p and 1080i sources to 1080p."

| Not a problem, for one thing the 360 is getting a Software update to support
1080P, but your 1080P HDTV should be able to output a 1080P picture from the
360's 1080i output anyway!
