Mine's a 32inch so 720P would be best suited?

720p is fine in my opinion. Most games use that as max resolution anyway so you won't miss much

Id say go with 720p  it does great at processing a high speed image with minimal blur 1080i streaks pretty bad. looks great for low speed but real bad for action games and shooters. besides the two are almost indistinguishable. Again you just get less streaking with 720p.  Im a tech nut feel free to hit me up for any high def and Audio Q's

I would only ever bother turning 1080i on if (for some reason that can never exist) something only played in that HD resolution. 1080p is overrated, unless you have a really big TV. I noticed the 720p/1080p difference on a 62 inch. Not on my 19 inch HD set (which I sit right in front of like a computer monitor. That's just how I roll, I'm used to it).

I'm unemployed at the moment so I can't afford it.

Hopefully, I'll have some money left over from my financial aid to purchase one.

However it really depends on what game you are playing. For example the pall version of Uncharted doesn't support 1080i (unlike the US release), so the game runs quite a bit worse at 1080i, much more frequent screen-tearing etc.
