    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if these two TVs really suppport 720p natively or do they convert the signal to 1080i.

    Toshiba 32HFX73
    Sony KV32HS510

    As far as I know no direct view TV does 720P they all upconvert the signal to 1080I but maybe when the new models come out some will? But there has been some talk over at www.avsforum.com about a "new" Sanyo HDTV at Wal-Mart that might do it? but so far no ones seems to be sure about it. Check the "Big" thread over there about the Sanyo.

    I believe the Loewe Anaconda will do 720p native.

    I've actually seen the Toshiba RPTVs advertised in the Best Buy ad as displaying 720p natively. At least that is what the Best Buy ad said a few weeks ago. They were advertising the 42" model.
