Within the tier, progressive-scan displays are more expensive than interlaced. However, depending on other factors, these comparisons may not always be the case. The p and i models rely on old technology that is gradually giving way to higher-resolution options. A p device offers the best resolution and viewing experience. However, for TVs that are 32 inches or smaller, you won't see much difference between pictures on p and p displays.

Updated on April 21, Lisa Mildon. A related factor is deinterlacing see point number 8, below. How well a TV does or does not handle these processes is a big factor in how desirable it is — and something that casual shoppers often overlook since, compared to the screen size or resolution, it's not as easy to show as a spec sheet bullet point.
This whole previous paragraph should probably be put in bold though, because the message never seems to get through. So, at the risk of overkill, let's restate it with specific resolutions.
What happens when you feed a i signal to a p TV? The i signal is deinterlaced, then scaled down-converted to p. Nearly all recent HDTVs are able to do this. What happens when you feed a p signal to p TV? Assuming the TV can accept a p signal, it will be scaled to p. But the caveat is that many older p and even some p models cannot handle p signals at all. In which case, you'll get a blank screen.
Thankfully, most newer HDTVs can accept p signals. It's converted to p with no resolution conversion. Instead, the i signal is deinterlaced for display in p.
Some HDTVs perform a better job of this deinterlacing process than others, but usually the artefacts caused by improper deinterlacing are difficult for most viewers to spot. Side by side, how do p and p TVs match up in head-to-head tests? We spend a lot of time looking at a variety of source material on many TVs in our labs. Over three years ago, many p TVs weren't as sharp as they claimed to be on paper.
By that, we mean a lot of older p sets couldn't necessarily display all 2 million-plus pixels in the real world — technically, speaking, they couldn't "resolve" every line of a i or p test pattern. Those who want the best picture quality need to change their TV's settings to accommodate changing video feeds. New TVs may attempt to automatically change settings to whatever is most appropriate, but they may fail to do so in some cases.
Regular DVD quality can vary considerably, with some displaying content at a resolution lower than p, such as p. Moreover, there are still DVD players around that only carry support for up to p or i, meaning a viewer cannot get the full experience of any high-definition DVD they insert into the player. Netflix typically streams at p, but with the release and expansion of what it calls "Super HD," users are able to stream more and more content at p quality with a high-speed internet connection.
Apple TV allows users to choose between p and p streaming. On YouTube and Vimeo , high quality videos often allow for p or even p streaming. Again, resolution is not all there is to picture quality, but for the average user, modern smartphones' video recording capabilities have the potential to be just as good for casual video-making as cheap camcorders. Screen resolution can be especially important in video gaming. Odd-numbered lines get painted on the screen first, then even numbered lines.
While this is incredibly fast and impossible for the human eye to detect, it can create a ghostly flickering effect on live TV broadcasts, particularly live sporting events. Progressive scan renders images sequentially, all at once. Once again, the difference is mostly a case of screen resolution. So, should you buy a 4K TV? Well, there are now more ways than ever to enjoy 4K video on your home telly, from the likes of Netflix and Sky TV. The video quality is merely downscaled to fit your TV and its pixel count.
