So, the 1080i vs 1080p input capability may be of very little significance.



Exactly. Thats why its pretty funny when the sales clerks at A/V stores say "there is very little 1080P sources available, so you dont need a 1080P set...buy this 1080i one".

The fact is that converting 1080i source material to 1080P display is rather easy and if that is becoming the broadcast standard....why not buy it if the price isnt that much.

That being said, 1080i source material scaled down to a 720P display, still looks fantastic as well.
