Yes.

SDTV=480i - 640x480=30720 pixels,
but, only 1/2 are updated each pass - Effective 153600 pixels
EDTV=480p -640x480=30720 pixels - updated each pass
HDTV=720p - 1280x720=921600 pixels - updated each pass
HDTV=1080i - 1920x1080=2073600
but, only 1/2 are updated each pass - Effective 1036800 pixels
SHDTV=1080p - 1920x1080=2073600- - updated each pass

I bought 1080i CRT televisions 2 years ago. They are significantly better than SDTV. Everytime I see 720p, it looks too grainy to me. I'm waiting for 1080p for my next TV
