Hi i just read that most 360 games are made for 720p, then upscaled or downscaled. If I change down to 720p, will it look better?

Try it and see.
Only way to find out really, it varies from TV to TV, I've seen a lot of people preferring 1080i to 720p, however, there's still people that like 720p.
 
I can't really tell the difference between the two. Some people say that 1080i is best when playing slow moving games and 720p for fast moving games. i.e PGR, Burnout etc...
 
I havent tried 1080i personally but most TVs that advertise 1080i downscale it back to 720p anyways. Why upscale something to downscale it back on the TV? Surely the original image will be better without being upscaled and then downscaled again?
 
i have to run in 1080i and let my TV scale.

If i play Fifa in 720p it suffers from ghosting.

All other games cant tell diff between so leave in 1080i all the time.
 
On my telly 1080i looks a lot crisper than 720, but it's completely TV specific.. just switch between them until you find one you prefer :)

This ;)

On the TV's I've seen on 720p and 1080i there's been no difference at all on fast paced games, on most the TV's 1080i was sharper however.
