That's true. LCD is progressive, it can't display an interlaced signal. However the quality of the chip that does the deinterlacing does vary.

My store sold out this afternoon just before I got there. Iasked about a substitution and they offered this for the same price. I hesitated for about a nanoscond. Happy camper here, oh yes indeedy.

edit: oops! I just read mythman's post about getting the panasonic for $989.

Wow! You must bargain a LOT better than I do! The Sears manager wouldn't do an exact price match. Gratz on saveing another $300!

This Hitachi TV uses an "ALiS" plasma panel which is interlaced.
