Can running on 1080i cause screen tearing on a 720p native game?
I just got a new TV this week (a 55" Sony Bravia 55Ex723). I've been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 since it first came out, but on a 42" Bravia. I noticed on the new TV that there seemed to be some "screen tearing" which I never noticed before on the old TV. Maybe it's because the screen is obviously bigger now or I thought maybe because this TV is more advanced...
I'm not all that familiar with resolutions, so I did some research online. I read that it's often recommended to play games, especially shooters, at 720p since they are faster moving. So, I switched my PS3 to 720p from 1080i and decided to check the game again. I think the screen tearing isn't really noticable now....it's hard to tell though. I see that Bad Company 2's native resolution is 720p. Could having the PS3 set to 1080i have caused the screen tearing?

Screen tearing is certainly more likely to happen, considering that you are running 1080 interlaced video (versus 720 progressive).
The game itself can also be at fault for this sometimes, though I've never heard many screen tearing complaints for Bad Company 2.
