720p

1080i - resolution is higher but only draws 540 lines each frame alternating each frame (interlaced), so picture isn's as smooth.
Go with 720p

Native 720p is much better in my experience. (I'm aware that X360 games almost all list both resolutions now, but in most cases it's listing all resolutions attainable period, not natives only)

I believe that Westinghouse 32" LCD is a 720p set, so set the 360 to 720p. You don't want the 360 to upconvert the signal to 1080i and then have your HDTV downconvert it to 720p. Less video processing the better.
Here is the deal
by ~Smooth~ - 3/19/09 7:50 AM In reply to: rez setting by bevillanIn terms of setting 720p ot 1080i or 1080p here is the deal
I have 2 hdtv's
The Pioneer Elite Kuro 50 inch Pro 111FD
and
The Samsung 52 inch LN650
both tv's are full 1080p and 2 of the best tv's around
on the Samsung if you play anything in 720p the game suffers from horrible input lag.
Unless you play in game mode which for Samsung it sucks because the picture is to jaggied and oversatured and you cant control the settings in game mode...
If you play on 1080p then you can set the hdmi to PC and it will remove the processng and remove input lag as well..this for 360
for PS3 you wont see many games that support 1080p therefore most games are 720p and on the samsung the input lag is terrible..for shooters and for games like baseball where timing is key
MLB the show for the ps3 supports 1080p therefore you can do the whole rename the hdmi slot to pc and it will remove the input lag but the show has framerate issues at times in 1080p since the game is optimized for 720p...so is give and take with both
on my pioneer elite kuro...
I can play the ps3 games in 720p and it has no input lag and even game mode is tweakable with the picture settings..
on 360 i put the console at 1080p since that is just to match the tv's native resolution...but you get no extra benefit since 360 does not do true 1080p like the ps3 does
that is why most games on ps3 dont say 1080p in the back..those that do..do support it and can be reached but at the expense of framerate issues...
360 just upsacles and is not real 1080p
720
