1080p vs. 1080i
I still can't see the difference. HDTV is HDTV to me. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to enjoy high definition programming over the past few months because I've been so busy. I'm disappointed that I can't get high-def content on demand through Comcast, too - as I forgot to leave our DVR turned on while we were away. I get to play the Xbox 360 for an hour every day during my workout, but that's not on an HDTV screen. I'm tempted to buy a nice small HDTV set for that room, though - and am looking for valid suggestions. I've never met a small LCD HDTV set that I've liked as much as plasma. I'm picky when it comes to image quality, I guess - especially at those price points. Progressive or interlaced, I just need something more than 480 lines. Oh what shall I do with this antequated television?

First off, there are very few if any sources for 1080p available. 2nd, on a 1080p capable display, 1080i and 1080p would look virtually identical, as both are 30 frames per second. 1080i is 60 fields (half frames) per second which equates to 30. There is currently no spec in HDTV standards for 60 fps 1080p.
Also, you wouldn't see the difference on your plasma anyhow as it is a 720p display. There are very few 1080p plasmas and they are $10k or more. There are some smaller LCD panels from Westinghouse and others that are 1080p and for big screens your choices are pretty much limited to the D-ILA and Sony's SXRD, both of which are LCoS technologies. There are currently no LCD based RPTVs that are 1080P.
Also, while DLP makers market their displays as 1080P, they are IN FACT, not 1080P. They use 720P chips and a process called wobulation to approximate 1080P, but you can readily see the difference when seeing a DLP system next to a same size SXRD system.
This is why I purchased a Sony SXRD, even though I'm not too fond of Sony as a company. Finally got it delivered yesterday too.

Actually I reviewed 2 dvd players.
The Toshiba A1 (HD DVD), and the PS3 (BLU RAY) :). Let me just say blue ray is a big hype just like PS3. There isnt a huge difference. The sad thing about blue ray is.. It is more of a risk. itll damage faster then the HD DVD NOOB
