1024x768? I remember using that resolution in 1999 on my 17" CRT.

Dude, it's a TV not a monitor. 1024x768 is the equivalent of 720p.

All 720p 42" Plasmas are 1024x768.

kind of an iffy deal, I paid $400 less for my LCD TV that can do 1080i... Guess it depends on how much you like Plasmas. My guess is OD wants to get rid of some old stock (the 20 inch LCDs)

If you paid $800 for a 42" LCD with 1080i, then you did well. Was that one of the Microcenter B&M deals from Black Friday or Christmas?

I got a Hitachi 42" HDT79 model and it's got 1024x1080 actual resolution. Talk about non square pixels. It can do 720p and 1080i.

1024x1080? Interesting. How does that affect PQ when the pixels are larger/rectangular?

Since when can TV's do 720p AND 1080? They will either up or down convert to there native resolution.

That's what I was thinking. But if you go to Hitachi's site and read the specs, it is indeed 1024x1080 😕
