Confusion about 1080p LCD HDTV's....

[Black Gobbo]

Okay, on another forum, someone told me that LCD's only display in 720p / 1080i and if a LCD HDTV says 1080p on it, it merely accepts the 1080p signal and downgrades it to 1080i...........since LCD according to them cannot display native 1080p.

Okay, if this is true, what sort of HDTV can display a native 1080p signal? Most stores around me sell primarily 1080p LCD's.

So am I misinformed or what is going on here?

Thanks!
