There are already a large number of 1080p HDTV sets on the market, which upconvert all incoming signals, including standard-definition TVs, DVDs, HDTVs and PCs, to their panels native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Ironically, these 1080p televisions can not accept a 1080p signal. Yes, you read that correctly.
If you already own a 1080p HDTV, it is highly probable that you wont be able to provide it with a 1080p signal from a PlayStation 3 or a Blu-ray Disc or an HD-DVD player. The good news is that the first 1080p input capable televisions are on the way and if you are planning to get a big screen HDTV, this is the perfect time to invest in a future-proof television.

ping lists needed for interested parties......
Some HDTVs have VGA inputs, so it should be possible to display more than 720 lines of resolution in progressive mode. Unfortunately, that is an analog solution.
From what I heard and know, you can get HDTV from component jacks, but, not digital, the only way I know to get HD digital is by DVI hookup.
I believe that Samsung is selling 1080p DLP HDTV sets with VGA inputs.
And don't forget, you won't be able to see a lot of HD content if your very expensive new 1080p HD display can't handle DRM.
