Maybe I'm just a skeptical ass but I have a hard time reading anything written by a so-called enthusiast who mentions that the A2 "doesn't even do 1080p". This entire 1080p propoganda thing is getting out of hand. I have yet to find a real use for it unless you double your TV as a computer monitor.

Maybe when the PS4 and nextbox release, there will be a real use for it but as long as films are shot at 24fps, movies look just as good in 1080i as they do 1080p.

 with new TV tech coming out more pixels are being jammed into the TVs. So even in a 46" TV you will be able to tell the difference. Really pelase look up OLCD tech please. OLCD >> New Plasma Tech (this will be an interesting battle as both will make it so that TV prices are 2500k and below). 

No, you won't be able to tell the difference. When playing a movie, a properly deinterlaced 1080i image displays the exact same raw data as a progressive 1080p image. There is literally no difference. It's the same feed for both formats, except one is displayed at 60fps while the other is interlaced at half the speed.

If you don't believe me, Google it. Both kn and myself posted two different links that say the same thing. It's all over the internet. 1080p improvement over 1080i in 24fps films is a myth.
