    Ahh.
    Normal TV = 480 lines (interlaced)

    i = interlaced --> 1080i = alternating 540 lines that look good with still images but can't keep up with quick action (action movies, sports)

    720p --> all 720 lines shown at once, so the above problem doesn't show up

    1080p = full 1080 lines shown at once --> better resolution than 720p and without the interlace issue

    I also ordered the Samsung 56" 1080p from Tiger Direct. Looking forward to its delivery!

    there's no native 1080p source material at the moment, is there?

    I'm 95% sure none of the available american HD tv channels are 1080p native. xbox360 isn't either

    I got Best Buy to match the Home Theatre Store price of $2999 of a 50" DLP Sony 1080.

    Sony doesn't make any DLP TVs, they do have SXRD which is similar to LCoS.
