PS3 HDMI output question

I promise, guys, last time I ask a noob PS3 question.

When I was playing COD (AWESOME game, btw), when it went to the menu screen, it changed the video output from 1080i (my TV's max setting) to 720p, and it did it again.

Now, not that it matters, but to get the game into 1080i, I had to change the display settings to only allow 480p and 1080i. Is this a problem, or just a quirk in the PS3 or my TV? Or does it even matter any at all?

Thanks, guys!

720p pretty much is the same as 1080i. I actually have mine set on 720p since my TV doesn't do 1080p.

As many times as it has been talked about.... no it is not.

I had to do the same thing on my PS3. I had to turn off 720, because it would choose that setting, instead of 1080p.

It's a quirk of the PS3.

Good to hear. I figured it was that. The game looks stunning in 1080i. Thanks!
