wrong. 1080p is nice, but only BD and computer outputs (other devices as well) output 1080p. the vast majority of broadcast HD (cable, sat, antenna) is 1080i with the remainder being 720p and, due to bandwidth requirements of 1080p, will remain so for the forseeable future.

you watch your movies (hopefully) and play your video games in 1080p, but all your HD TV reception however is 1080i/720p with the vast majority 1080i. It is, in fact, the most used HD resolution there is at this point. So go get a TV with a damn good deinterlacer.
