a basic question on HD


1920 X 1080i or 1080p....as I understand it...if 65" plasma has pixels of 1366X 768 is HD? Does it take advantage of Blu Ray, HD DVD properly? This directly relates to B&O's BeoVision 4. Yes very expensive and better ones out there, I guess. But wanted to ask the question as the dealer kept insisting it would do full HS of 1080i....is this not the same as pixel count. Am I missing something here?

I agree with Kennyt above, having just acquired a Sony 46" 1080p LCD that puts out a magnificent picture. Even in 1080i it makes my 3 yr old rear projection HD Hitachi Director Series look like something from the 60's!
Fplanner2000,

If you don't have it already go out and buy the Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player and X men III, you will be blown away!
Ya' Kennyt got it. The new Toshiba X2A and even the ps3 actually output 1080p--(I have the older X1A).
I have the Sony Ruby and the pq; even with my older X1A is better than my TWC-hd feed.
I know we all have different levels of enjoyment/ desires, and budgets.---Pretty much anyone whom is a videophile with the funds has one of the new displays and one of the new format players.---LG just came out with a player that does BD and HD-DVD.--(BD= blue ray) So, as they say you can get into the game and run with the big-dogs or just sit on the porch.---I rent from Netflix--they rent both formats---same price as renting standard dvds.---
Yesterday I watched 1080i and 1080p Sony LCDs side by side with the same source. The improvement with 1080p was not subtle.
