Inderdaad, zelfs bij aanlevering in 1080i, maar men is voorzichtig met de conclusie:
"If [...] 1920x1080i/25 programme production is used, conversion to 720p/50 for broadcasting will not significantly improve the picture quality, because the efficiency gains of progressive scanning for compression will not be available, although professional standards converters can improve quality. The viewed picture may be slightly better because of the improved sophistication of the interlace-to-progressive conversion. It is better to use professional, high quality interlacedto-progressive converters at the broadcaster’s premises than to place the de-interlacing task on consumer displays or set-top boxes."

Deinterlacers in TV's worden steeds beter met fabrikanten als Silicon Optics, Marvell, ATI en Faroudja die allemaal chips hebben die prima motion adaptive kunnen deinterlacen en daarbij in Full HD TV's - in mijn ervaring - betere resultaten behalen met 1080i materiaal dan wanneer je het downsampled naar 720p.
