| whatever said: My point was that if you have a 1080p display, for movies it doesn't matter whether the INPUT is 1080i or 1080p. Yes, a 1080p display will look better than a 1080i display. But a 1080p source to a 1080p display will look EXACTLY the same as a 1080i source to a 1080p display. Note that this only applies to movies, because they are encoded at 24fps. But since that's what we are talking about with this player, it definitely applies.

Assuming your 1080p display offers 3:2 pulldown to reconstruct the 1080p image, this is true. I would hope most, if not all, 1080p displays have this, though.
Also, while most film material is 24 frames per second, some isn't. A lot of movies have computer generated imagery running at 60 fps, and for that you'd want a 1080p signal.
