Is 480i or 480p better?

480p is significantly better than 480i because 'p' means progressive scan (full frames drawn at once) for a clearer, sharper image, while 'i' means interlaced (alternating odd/even lines) which causes flickering, softness, and "combing" artifacts, especially with motion, making text harder to read and detail muddy, although 480i was fine on old CRTs where it blended better. On modern HDTVs, 480p provides a much superior, cleaner, and stable standard-definition picture.
