I thought that regardless of whether the signal was interlaced or progressive, that plasmas and LCDs displayed a progressive image and that all of them included their own de-interlacing circuits to deal with interlaced signals.

If that's the case, then the difference between feeding a plasma a 1080i or a 1080p signal is where the de-interlacing occurs. Are you sure the issue you're seeing isn't a result of poorer quality de-interlacing circuits in some screens than in the players attached to them?

PS: I have no real experience with plasmas but I know my LCD screen de-interlaces any interlaced signal I feed it before displaying it.
