Exactly. An while you are choosing to define the source as what the media is capable of (1080p) I choose to define the source as what it provides natively at the output (1080i). The fact that one can, with the proper equipment, reconstruct the 1080p source so that it is indistinguishable from...

Aha! A light just went off in my head, Chris. When I speak about the current generation of HD-DVD players as not being 1080p sources, I am referring to the players themselves, not the HD-DVD media and that appears to be where we disagree. I totally agree with what you stated in the quote above...

Chris, You're preaching to the choir here and I don't see why you continue to challenge my position. I'm entitled to my opinion as you are entitled to yours on this whole "1080p" situation. While I agree completely with your statements regarding the fact that some displays do IVT correctly...

That, Tom, is the result of the current Electronic Tower of Babble. :D Not only don't all manufacturers list these specifications in their promotional materials, but sometimes even when listed the information is incorrect! And don't try to ask a lot of salespeople for help with this...

No, Chris, it wasn't my understanding that was " a bit short of the full picture" but an oversight on my part in not mentioning the use of an external processor to do deinterlacing of 1080i film sources back to 1080p/24. I was talking generally regarding the "out of the box" (i.e. no external...

I wasn't counting HD-DVD in the 1080p mix since as of yet the players don't pass the 1080p signal through even though the material on the discs is 1080p. My Toshiba XA1 only outputs up to 1080i. I also realize that the day will come when HD-DVD players tap the full 1080p resolution of the source...

As others have correctly pointed out your statement is filled with inaccuracies. Not only do I own a 1080p set that displays a 1080p picture from 1080p sources (the HP MD5880n showing 1080p content from WMVHD discs via an HTPC) but I've also personally auditioned the Brillian RPM that also...

A couple of clarifications regarding some of the comments made here: Yes, a 1080p set will display a 1080p picture from all sources (including if it is limited to 1080i input and below) since it uses internal scaling to produce the 1080p image. Thus a 1080p set without 1080p input is still a...
