so to expand on that a bit then, current 1080i is @ 60fps, but once it de-interlaces it becomes 1080p @ 30fps. I'm trying to wrap my brain around this whole thing because i was hoping to have a new tv for my completed ht room (expected completion date Apr 15).

So if no current 1080p displays will handle 60fps (is this correct?) and that is the holy grail, then there is no way to future proof against this, if i cared to do so. But if current displays of 720p @ 60fps are > 1080p @ 30fps, then one would be just as well suited with a 720p for probably a number of years....until technology can accomodate 1080p @ 60fps. Now i believe this is a complete moot point for me anyways, since i am looking at a 60/61" Toshiba or Samsung DLP set (yes i talked myself down from a 72") which isn't available in a 720p anyway.
