True HD displays need to be able to display 1920 X 1080
in order to display 1080i.
CRT's can, (equilvant) most fixed pixel's can't.
Most only dispay 1280 X 768.
The more expensive model's do though. Good luck finding
one under $10,000.00GTF

Sharp's new 45" flat panel LCD is real 1920x1080p resolution for about $7.5k online. Next year I'll bet that drops to the low $6k price-point.Here's some info you might find interesting. The best non-front projection CRTs can only resolve in the low 1400s of those 1920 horizontal lines and around 800 of those 1080 vertical lines. Consider that a 50" plasma is 1366x768p (Panasonic 7UY at $4500 from reputable online vendors) and can handle and resolve a 720p signal, whereas even the best of those CRTs must convert to 1080i.
By fall of 2005, we'll probably see 1920x1080p plasmas in the 50" category. And the price will not be much higher than what they are selling for today due to competition from other manufacturers and from flat panel LCDs. LG has shipped a few 71" 1920x1080p plasmas to Japan and Samsung has a 7x" 1920x1080p model that will likely be released in early 2005, but under $10k these are not. That said, Panasonic is now shipping a 65" 1366x768p plasma (two models, actually) for $10.5k online. By fall of 2005, that display is likely to be 1920x1080p and will probably sell for under $12k online.
