Doug -
I can't disagree with most of what you say. I was thinking about 1080i
as a transmission format, not display. It's value as a display format
for the moment comes from 1080i RPTV's probably being the best bang for
the buck at the low end of the price spectrum.
I'm trying to make my 5 year old 55" Toshiba limp along until I can get
a 1080p something or other (besides FP).
But by the time 1080p displays are standard, so will be the good
deinterlacers in them.
