Here is a link to the 2003 Hitachi Brochure re VirtualHD 1080p Processing:

It's at the bottom of the discussion re lack of 1080p on HDMI interfaces.

as a 1080p set because they deinterlace into a picture buffer and then read it
out at much higher than 30 fps, just like a computer monitor can spit out the
same image at 60, 72, 75 Hz, etc.
Note VirtualHD 1080p processing in my 2003 Hitachi 42-inch Plasma, which is
capable of 1280x1024@75 fps on the VGA port (see attached brocure).
PS: Sears has the similiar Hitachi 42HDM12 Monitor (Alis 1024x1024) on sale for
$1,979:

I'm running an AVS poll on that very subject right now for those that
recently got a 1080p display for Xmas, or wherever. The results
strongly suggest (against my expectations) that deinterlaced 1080i is
superior. Though the number of respondents is still small (30 with a
1080p display). See:
It is always a mystery to me why 1080i continues to do so well but it
often looks better to me too. But I don't have a 1080p display yet.
