So the really uncertain part here is whether the electronics at the other end of the HDMI connector really can do 1080p or not. Perhaps [wishful thinking] some manufacturers are being careful and currently calling it "1080i only" until shipping next gen Hi-Def DVD players capable of real native 1080p output are available for testing.

The "line" many companies are telling people is that the best source to feed one of the 1080p sets is 1080i and then just let the TV deinterlace it. The manufactuers then brag about their deinterlacing/scaling units and how you'd never know the difference, etc. etc..
