"FYI, Those cheap HD DVD players are only 1080i.

While we're on the subject, do you notice any difference between 1080i and 1080p? I know the technical difference, and I know that 1080p is supposed to be better, but even on a 60" screen I've heard that you can hardly tell one from the other -- unless you're a salesman, of course.

I can tell the difference, but a (prior generation) high quality 1080i HDTV can have as good of quality as a bargain basement current generation 1080p HDTV. Earlier this year the first generation 1080i DLPs were sold at discounts, those still have better pic quality than current low end WalMart LCD HDTV’s.

I don’t watch many movies, heck I only bought my first standalone dvd player last Xmas.

I haven’t liked any of the LCD HDTV’s. I can see every flaw in them. That is until I saw the 1080p sets recently. I would say they are acceptable.
