Is the difference between 1080p and 1080i noticeable or most people can't even see it?

I recently switched from a Sony 1080i up converting player to a BluRay and frankly, I'm disappointed there's not that much of a difference.

Hmmm, I can't fake 1080p on my 1080i set, nor fake 1080i on my 1080p set. Both of different technologies, and the 1080p one (Pio Kuro Elite last gen) is definitely better than the older Sony CRT-RPTV.

So I can't say for sure. I do watch some 1080i music BDs on the better set, and to be honest I really doubt I could ever tell they're not 1080p. I am using a good player (Oppo BDP-83) and it has an excellent de-interlacer though.

I was never dissatisfied with BD via 1080i on the Sony. CRTs are nothing to sneeze at re black levels, but not up to the better plasmas these days though.
