not 720p/1080i

Not really. Maybe the fact that it's "only" 720p/1080i...? Not that it's a BIG deal... At that size it doesn't really matter...

If you can afford it, it's one of the best TVs you can buy.

LCD and plasma is never 720p/1080i, it is 720P only my friend. Only what is 1080i is CRT televisions that have alternate line showing for alternate frames. LCD and Plasma is always progressive and always have fixed resolution. So if salesman says this LCD or plasma is 1080i they tell you terrible lies to make you buy the TV. Truly that TV is only 720P.

Native Resolution is what is important, not signal reception ability.

720P: 1280x720 (most TV is 1366x768)
1080P: 1920x1080
