If the display is big, and it's showing fast moving video, it's more likely that you'll see a difference. I don’t know either.

Evidently at least one of the models can be "hacked" to accept 1080p input, but I don't count that. I am of the belief that you shouldn't need to hack a > 4000$ TV!

BenQ and Westinghouse 37" LCDs for example. And a few more on the horizon, like the 45" Sharp Aquos' that are coming up. That said, I have no clue about requirements for HDMI outs, or if a separate one would be required for 1080p vs. 1080i. I believe that on the Westingfield 37" LCD (talked about quite a bit at AVS Forums)there are two DVI inputs but only one supports 1080p input, so it's feasible that there are different levels of HDMI outs that would need to be supported. I wonder if it's even possible to notice a difference between 1080i and 1080i that's up-converted to 1080p. There are definitely a few displays out and coming out that support 1080p….

Few (any?) displays can accept either.

Or is the thought that any TV capable of displaying 1080p will be able to easily convert the 1080i signal on it's own? Good news is some of them at least look to be "easonably" priced starting at 350$ for the video scaling features, I was expecting something pricier when I read the article.
