First, I HATE flicker. I have been paying a premium for many decades to avoid/minimize screen flicker. Progressive scan LCD's have been my cmptr-screen saviour since 1995. On CRT-types, I can not only see flicker, I can also tell you the scan rate with just a quick glance. --60hz is gawd-awful . ..72hz is annoying, 85 & 90hz are tougher to distiguish...
Now if you are comparing a 1080i to a 1080p signal, on an LCD, it's not so easy, as the 1080i has been converted to be displayed progressively for the LCD. If you are comparing a 1080p LCD to a 1080i plasma there is no contest. (LCD kicks butt) --The 1080i demos always have slow panning or static "flower" shots for a reason.
IMO even 720p is superior to 1080i for anything with motion. --I've seen lots of fights fought on that topic. So, YMMV.
