Old 1080i vs new 720p?

Would a new 720 plasma have a better picture quality than an old 1080i? Or even better would a new 1080 lcd be better?

    Between 1080i and 720p, flip a coin.

    If you want something better, you need at least 1080p,

    but, in practical terms, unless you're sensitive to 'artifacts',

    1080p won't really be much of a visible improvement over 1080i.

    To take a good leap upward, start looking at the tech

    that hasn't yet hit the market: 2k and 4k.

    (It's coming, but it will take a while.)
