1080p and 1080i: a practical guide

Friday, August 7th, 2009 by Kat

Most newer models of Full HD TVs (and some models that call themselves HD Ready) have 1080p resolution, but there are still some 1080i models around and still, it seems, quite a bit of confusion between the two resolutions.  So what’s the difference between 1080p and 1080i?

Reevoo Customer Choice Awards 2009

Reevoo is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Reevoo Consumer Choice Awards! The winning products were found from over half a million reviews written by confirmed purchasers up to 1st April 2009. There were some surprise winners including the £16 Tesco Value MC-907 Hi-Fi which amazed everyone to take gold in the Hi-Fi category.

Big winners included Sony, who were awarded gold and silver in the television category, and TomTom with a clean sweep in the sat nav category. Nikon took the prize for best digital camera and Canon won gold in the camcorder category.  UK-based vacuum cleaner manufacturer Numatic won an impressive silver award for its Hetty vacuum cleaner.

Apple were gold winners the laptop category, but only managed a bronze in the MP3 and iPod category. Perhaps even more surprisingly, the iPhone failed to make the top three in the mobile phone category, with Nokia winning gold and bronze and Samsung taking silver.
