Guy1: When i can chose 1080i or 1080p, which is better?

Friend of guy1: 1080p is definitely the best, you would make a big mistake if you bought 1080i because that would be worse than 720p. Don't get the marketing trick you to think same resolution means same quality.

1920x1080. While it is a good resolution for computer monitors, it is considered fairly low for TVs nowadays, since 4K now rules the roost. However up until the early 2010's it was considered mindblowing, especially since 720p ruled the roost until then.
Person 1: What did you get for Christmas?
Person 2: A 1080p TV? Cool, innit?
Person 1: Uh... not really. A 4K TV would've been better. This is 2018, dude.

Slav 1080º 

When a Slavic killer jumps off the roof of your house, turns around three times while mid-air and then takes you out with one clean headshot through your window.
The victim was killed by a good ol' Slav 1080º.

1080i is a DHTV high definition widescreen displaying standard. Commonly pronounced /ten-eighty I/.
1080 means resolution of 1920x1080, i stands for interlaced, which means two fields of half-quality image are being unpercievably rapidly swapped in every frame of such display, in outcome it has half the image quality as opposed to progressive 1080p. As a counsequence of which, framerate is being mentioned in Fields per seconds, that means interlaced displays have half the framerate and sharpness as progressive displays, where famerate is in full Frames per second.
Dood 1: Is the 1080i better than 1080p? I am confused.

Informed friend of dood 1: no, it's in fact below 720p. The quality rises like this: 480i 480p 1080i 720p 1080p.
