Optical Block in Sony HDTV

I'm having the Optical Block replaced in my 60inch Grand Wega Sony HDTV (1080i) which exhibited a blue screen pattern apparently due to a manufacturing defect since Sony is picking up the tab for this even though I did not have extended warranty coverage. I was told that this is a very expensive part ~ $1,000.00, and that it is the heart of the TV. My question, does changing this part have any effect on the 1080i resolution, does it upgrade it to 1080p? When I bought the set 4 years ago, 1080p sets were not the norm....

Re: Optical Block in Sony HDTV

My entirely uneducated guess would be no, since they are likely to replace only a part of the whole TV. The electronics and signal processing will likely remain as it was.
